Twenty years ago, Baroness Hale highlighted the importance of listening to children in family cases. But are we really listening? 📢

Children want to be informed, involved, respected and understood when decisions are made about their lives.

In this new blog from Sue McArthur, a Senior Associate, Solicitor & Mediator, it explores how children's voices can be heard through child inclusive mediation and the family courts, and whether we are doing enough to put children at the centre of decisions that affect them.

We’re proud to be supporting the YMCA Teesdale Community Café in Cockfield with a £3,500 donation from our EMG Charitable Fund.

Their Wednesday Lunch Club provides a welcoming space for older people in the village to enjoy a meal, take part in activities and catch up with friends.

Our funding will help to pay for day trips to the beach and garden centre, as well as activities such as crafts and board games.

We’re proud that our Charitable Fund, delivered in partnership with Point North, can help create more opportunities for people to socialise, try something new and build friendships in the North East.

A huge thank you to everyone at YMCA Teesdale Community Café for the work you do in the local community – we hope this funding brings plenty of fun, laughter and memorable days out!
