Keltie volunteers brighten up Horniman Primary School

Keltie’s commitment to positive change

 

The volunteer day at Horniman Primary School is one example of how Keltie embodies its values through active community involvement. Thirty-five years ago, founder David Keltie envisioned a better way of doing things. This vision continues to shape the company today. This ethos is at the heart of Keltie’s DICE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement) Committee.

 

Keltie’s teams are dedicated to driving positive change.  And the team’s efforts were part of a broader initiative to support social mobility. Like most law firms, supporting social mobility is a key focus for Keltie. It reflects their commitment to creating opportunities for all and contributing to a more equitable society.

 

The importance of Volunteer Days

 

Volunteer days enable employees to give back to their local communities without sacrificing a full day's pay. At Keltie, each employee is entitled to a day per year to contribute to a good cause. These days offer benefits, including improved mental health. Volunteering has been shown to reduce stress and boost positive feelings. They also provide opportunities for skill development. Employees can enhance their communication, leadership, and teamwork skills. The Keltie team consisted of two partners, two patent trainees, and a patent paralegal. The day gave them a chance to work together outside their usual roles.

 

This volunteering effort is a testament to Keltie's commitment to giving back to the community. All whilst also promoting social mobility and team building within the firm. Only time will tell if they decide to swap patenting for painting, but for now, the classroom walls look brighter than ever!
