Pro Bono Week takes place across the UK this year from 3 to 7 November 2025. Through events and comms it is an opportunity to recognise, showcase and discuss the voluntary contribution of the legal profession in giving free legal help to those in need.
For the latest updates follow @ProBonoWeekUK on LinkedIn or X (Twitter).
Arrange an event
Pro Bono Week is a great time to arrange an event to promote or discuss pro bono. Many events are external occasions organised in partnership with others, while others are internal events for colleagues at an organisation. The overall theme for 2025 is “Pro Bono in Action”, with some additional subtopics:
- Pro bono: Stories of impact
- Pro bono: win-win for professional & business development
- Pro bono: Getting involved
If you organise an event whether internal or external please do let us know by emailing info@probonoweek.org.uk. For help planning an event visit probonoweek.org.uk/event-plans
Share content on social media
Pro Bono Week is a perfect time to post on social media or your website about your commitment to pro bono, or to thank your volunteers, or to showcase a particular pro bono lawyer or project. #ProBonoWeek
