⭐️ Celebrating Volunteers’ Week ⭐️

At A&O Shearman, everyone is encouraged to volunteer their time and skills with two days' volunteering leave. It’s the shared commitment of individuals across the firm that enables us to create lasting impact together. From supporting our charity partners, to championing causes close to their hearts, colleagues in Belfast have contributed over 2,000+ volunteering hours in the last year!

Volunteering is a powerful force for good. It helps us to build strong connections with our local communities, supports well-being and creates a sense of purpose and a strong workplace culture. Above all, it creates meaningful change.

To all our volunteers – thank you. We couldn’t achieve the impact we do in the community without your support. ❤️

We welcomed the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland team to our office as we officially launched our new charity partnership.

Hearing directly from the team really brought into focus the vital, life-saving role they play across Northern Ireland. Every day, two people require their urgent support, with a highly skilled crew delivering advanced care. With a five-minute take-off time and the ability to reach anywhere in Northern Ireland within 25 minutes, their impact is extraordinary.

Over the next two years, we aim to raise £45,000, which could potentially save the lives of ten people.

Our colleagues are already getting involved, preparing to take part in the Runway Run at Belfast City Airport on Wednesday, June 10, as well as volunteering at the event to support this important cause. 🏃‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️

We’re excited to get started and look forward to sharing more as our fundraising journey gets underway! 🚁

A big thank you to our colleagues - Andrew, Brianagh, Laura, Ryan, Helen and Pauline - who used their volunteering days to support our baby bank partner, Blossoms Belfast.

During their time supporting the charity, the team helped sort clothing donations and baby essentials for families with babies and young children.

Blossoms plays a vital role in supporting families facing financial pressures across Belfast. As well as providing essential items for babies and young children, they also support mothers with much-needed supplies, helping ensure families have the resources they need during an important and often challenging time.

Thanks to Cherryl, Briege and Susan from Blossoms who make a real difference to families every week!

A big thank you to our colleagues Paula, Sarah, Emma and Caoimhe who volunteered with the Ulster Orchestra as part of the Crescendo Project. 🎶

Our team supported Primary 3 and Primary 7 pupils from Malvern Primary School, Wheatfield Primary School, Holy Evangelist Primary School and Good Shepherd Primary School during their rehearsals, as they prepared for their final performance at the Ulster Hall on June 10.

Through support from our Belfast Grants programme, nearly 1,000 children across primary schools in North and West Belfast are gaining access to music lessons that nurture confidence, creativity, and connection. Crescendo plays a vital role in opening doors to high-quality music education, helping young people build resilience, teamwork and a love of learning.

It was inspiring for the volunteers to see the pupils in action and to witness the impact of this initiative first-hand as they worked towards their big performance.

A sincere thank you to the Ulster Orchestra team for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful and uplifting project.

They did it! 🙌

Huge congratulations to our marathon relay teams who took on the Belfast City Marathon—marking the final fundraising push of our two-year charity partnership with Northern Ireland Hospice and Northern Ireland Children's Hospice.

Team 1 – Alexandria, Fiona, Chris, Ciaran and Marina – crossed the finish line in an incredible 4:26:39, while Team 2 – Olivia, Hannah, Niall, Katie and Ryan – delivered an amazing 4:04:25 👏

Thanks to their brilliant teamwork and determination, they’ve already raised an impressive £1,727, with even more to come through our matched giving program. 💜

A big thank you to everyone who supported, donated and cheered them on along the way—you’ve all played a part in making this such a fantastic finale to our partnership.

This Sunday, we have two relay teams competing in the Belfast City Marathon. It’s the final fundraising push of our two-year charity partnership with Northern Ireland Hospice and Northern Ireland Children's Hospice. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Huge thanks to Olivia, Hannah, Niall, Katie, Ryan, Alexandria, Fiona, Chris, Ciaran and Marina for going the extra mile. Alongside the training miles, they have put just as much energy into fundraising, raising an incredible £1,500 and counting! 👏

Thanks to efforts like this, we have now exceeded our overall fundraising target for Northern Ireland Hospice, an achievement we are incredibly proud of.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported, donated, and cheered us on over the past two years. This partnership has reflected our shared commitment to supporting our local community – every fundraiser, event, and mile covered has helped contribute to the vital services the Northern Ireland Hospice and Children’s Hospice deliver every day. 💜

Best of luck to both our teams this weekend. We will be cheering you on every step of the way! 🙌

A huge thank you to Pamela and Robin from our finance team who spent a morning volunteering at the Northern Ireland Hospice shop on High Street, Belfast. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm helped to make a real difference.

Volunteering has been a valued part of our partnership with Northern Ireland Hospice, helping us give back to the community alongside our fundraising efforts.

Over the past two years, more than 80 colleagues have volunteered their time with the Hospice. This collective focus has given us a strong sense of purpose beyond our day-to-day roles, strengthened relationships, and encouraged greater collaboration across teams.

As we enter the final week of our partnership, we’d also like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the Hospice shop staff for welcoming us into your shops, and for your kindness and dedication over the last couple of years. 💐💜

🎶 A huge thank you to our colleagues - Ewan, Frances, and Emma - who volunteered with the Ulster Orchestra during their Crescendo project play throughs.

Crescendo is an inspiring learning and community engagement programme that helps improve outcomes for children by giving them access to high quality music education throughout their primary school years. Thanks to support from our Belfast Grants program, almost 1,000 children in primary schools across North and West Belfast are benefiting from music lessons that build confidence, creativity and connection.

Our volunteers had the chance to see the impact first hand as pupils prepared for their play throughs—an exciting step on the journey towards their showcase concert at the Ulster Hall this June.

Thank you to Jonathan, Lucy, and Sarah from Ulster Orchestra for giving us the opportunity to get involved in this incredible project, helping young people experience the power of music 🎼✨
