At Lawcomm Solicitors, we believe in giving back to the community and supporting causes that make a real difference. One of the charities we are proud to support is Spotlight UK, a Hampshire-based organisation dedicated to improving the lives of children, young people, and families facing adversity.
Founded in April 2009, Spotlight UK's mission is to advance the lives of children, young people, and adults by providing recreational, emotional, and practical support.
They reach hundreds of children and families across Hampshire and beyond benefit from their services every year. Over time, their vision expanded to include emotional support, practical help, and free activities for children affected by illness, trauma, or disadvantage.
In 2024, Spotlight UK launched Scarlett’s Smiles, a dedicated programme supporting:
- Children with a parent or sibling facing terminal or long-term illness
- Children living with illness or disability themselves
- Young carers and adult carers
- Children in care or affected by domestic abuse, loss, or separation
Through Scarlett’s Smiles, Spotlight UK provides:
- Free activities (bowling, laser tag, paddleboarding, trampolining) to create positive memories
- Care packages with gifts and supplies for families in need
- Special experiences for children struggling with disability or illness
- Christmas appeals including toy drives, hampers, and stockings for the elderly
- Emergency supplies such as clothes, beds, and essentials for families escaping domestic abuse
Managing Director, Bill Dhariwal said the following:
"Spotlight UK embodies values we share as a law firm: community, resilience, and fairness. Their work ensures that vulnerable children and families are not left behind, but instead given opportunities to thrive, heal, and build positive futures. By supporting Spotlight UK, we help fund activities, care packages, and emergency supplies that directly impact families in Hampshire and the wider Souther region."
