It also provides the TrustLaw global pro bono legal programme connecting NGOs and social entrepreneurs with big law firms. They like to receive new ideas from PRs and quirky stories. Embargoed content is preferable - or to at least receive a story well ahead of time. They're particularly interested in 'people stories', a story that has a human face. Whatever they receive, it must fit into their remit, content has to have a global view and focus on under reported stories, humanitarian relief, governance, trafficking and slavery, and must promote socio-economic progress. The team are also available to moderate at presentations and conferences if it can promote the Foundation.
