Charity of the Year 2026

We are thrilled to announce the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) as our Charity of the Year 2026 winner!

The partnership between the Royal Osteoporosis Society and Slater and Gordon will be a powerful driving force in raising awareness and improving support for people affected by bone health conditions. Currently, more than 3.5 million people in the UK are living with osteoporosis.

Established in 1986, the Royal Osteoporosis Society is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to improving bone health, by raising awareness of osteoporosis and advocating for earlier diagnosis and better treatment options.

In recognition of this outstanding success, the charity will receive a significant financial donation by Slater and Gordon, along with a dedicated 12-month partnership including fundraising support, sponsorship opportunities, increased outreach exposure and strategic collaboration.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Slater and Gordon as their Charity of the Year” says Craig Jones, Chief Executive at the Royal Osteoporosis Society. “This partnership has the potential to be truly transformational for our work. Together, we can reach more people at risk of osteoporosis, expand our awareness efforts, and help prevent life-changing fractures. We were also thrilled to see how strongly our networks and colleagues rallied behind us during the public vote, and we are incredibly grateful for their support in helping us secure this partnership.”

Janine Ferrie, Chief Marketing Officer at Slater and Gordon adds “A huge congratulations to our new Charity of the Year! This partnership with the Royal Osteoporosis Society marks a truly significant moment, bringing together two organisations committed to making a real difference to the lives of people we work with. “Over the next 12 months, we have strong ambitions to work closely with the ROS to further raise awareness, strengthen support and help improve outcomes for many. I’m confident that we will accomplish meaningful progress together. The ROS should be immensely proud of this achievement, the level of support received clearly demonstrates the impact they are making.”

Michael Dunleavy, Slater and Gordon’s Head of Business Development also adds, “This is truly an exciting moment to join forces; to make a meaningful difference for those with osteoporosis and advocating for better awareness of bone health. We are truly looking forward to collaborating with the ROS, and I’m confident we will achieve great things together.“

Hear from last years Charity of the Year Winner, Wheelchair Football Association

Over the past year, powerchair football charity The Wheelchair Football Association was the firm’s selected Charity of the Year 2024/25, strengthening the charity’s national reach, driving further awareness of its impact as well as delivering fundraising support. The relationship, which continues to develop, also saw the law firm become sponsor of the National League Premiership, which is named Slater and Gordon Premiership for the 2025/26 season.

Dean Williams, Chair of The Wheelchair Football Association, adds, “Being named as their Charity of the Year has been transformative for us. We are a relatively small but ambitious charity with two wonderful members of staff supported by amazing volunteers, and the support we have received from Slater and Gordon since has been truly fantastic.”
