Anthony Collins has been awarded all five lots on the new Open Procurement Framework established by Fair4All Finance

Fair4All Finance, founded in 2019 and funded through the Dormant Assets Scheme, aims to enhance financial inclusion for 20 million individuals facing financial vulnerability by offering access to affordable credit and inclusive financial products while fostering partnerships throughout the financial sector.

The firm’s social commitment greatly aligns with Fair4All Finance's mission as indicated in their latest Social Impact Report, detailing £76,000 in donations and 23,000 hours dedicated to legal aid in 2024-25. David Alcock, partner and head of the social business team at Anthony Collins, expressed, “Being appointed to all five lots is a fantastic opportunity for our specialist legal teams to demonstrate the collective strength we bring to our clients. As a business driven by a strong sense of social purpose, Fair4All Finance is certainly the right fit for us, and we are proud to have been recognised and rewarded for the contribution we make to delivering measurable social value”
