Kindness Project wins prestigious award

Congratulations to Valerie Charbit, RLC’s Director of Wellbeing, whose Kindness Project has won a prize in the Judicial Office Wellbeing competition in the Health, Education and Social Care Chamber.

Valerie, who sits as a tribunal judge in mental health and as an assistant coroner, continues to build on the success of the ‘Kindness at the Bar’ initiative with Nicola Shannon KC (South Eastern Circuit) and Professor Robin Banerjee. The initiative is helping to foster a culture of kindness, resilience and wellbeing across the legal profession and at the Bar.

The next phase of the project is now recruiting Kindness Ambassadors – volunteers who want to champion kindness in courts, chambers and workplaces. If you’d like to get involved and attend the next meeting in September to help make a positive difference across the profession, please do email Valerie here: vc@18rlc.co.uk
