ProHelp
Burton & Dyson belongs to ProHelp, which offers professional support locally for the voluntary sector on a pro-bono basis. We attend regular meetings to respond to requests from local community groups. Being part of ProHelp is a large part of our social responsibility, and enhances our awareness of local economic and social issues.

Local Parish Councils
A number of members of our staff are involved in their local parish councils either as members in their own right or ‘honorary’ legal advisers.
Support for Local Charities
Many of our members of staff are involved with local charities, either as clerks or treasurers, or helping to raise funds. Maria Bradley is clerk to a number of local charities which provide grant funding to residents of Gainsborough and the surrounding areas.
