FREE CHARITY ADVICE HELPLINE: RUSSELL-COOKE SOLICITORS

The law firm Russell-Cooke works with Kingston Voluntary Action to provide a free telephone helpline for Kingston Voluntary Action members. The helpline allows members to have a short telephone conversation with a legal professional on issues relating to running a charity, such as:

  • Mergers
  • Employment / HR
  • Data Protection
  • Safeguarding
  • Leases and Property
  • Legal Structures and charitable status

The helpline is open from 09.30 to 17.00 on working days. To use the helpline, you can:

In the first instance, your enquiry will be dealt with by an executive assistant, who will circulate it to solicitors in Russell-Cooke’s Charity and Social Business team. You will then be contacted directly by a solicitor to discuss your enquiry, usually within 1 – 3 working days.
