Our Community

At Totum, we’ve given ourselves an objective: to push forward the legal industry (and other industries) in a responsible and sustainable way. Whether we’re creating one-off fundraisers or nurturing long-term relationships with charities, contributing to the community is an integral part of who we are.

We have committed to and are working with four charities: Brynk, Sickle Cell Society, Support SEND Kids and Sarcoma UK. These have been chosen by our team as charities that closely align with Totum’s purpose, aspirations, values and goals. They’re our focus for long-term partnership as well as one-off fundraisers. As well, as part of our Refer a Friend scheme, we donate £50 to one of these charities with every placement we make.

We donate surplus IT equipment to a charity called Little Lives. Little Lives UK has a technology donations programme that helps disadvantaged children that do not have access to the technology necessary for online learning to help them develop useful skills that will enhance their future career prospects.

Over the years, we’ve worked with a number of fantastic organisations to support all the amazing work they do: The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, Headway SELNWK (supporting individuals and their families/carers affected by brain injury), Clean Break (a charity supporting women who have fallen on tough times to get back into the workplace); and PRIME, an alliance of law firms and legal departments who provide work experience to young people from less privileged backgrounds.

In addition to our on-going projects, we keep our calendar full of fundraising events and opportunities. We regularly take part in sponsored walks, concerts, marathon running and skydiving, as well as in-house activities like Halloween make-overs and cake sales.
