Giving to charity: 1% of our income
Updated May 2025
Monaco Solicitors are committed to helping innocent people caught up in warfare and whose basic human rights are at risk or being denied. That’s why we donate 1% of our income to charities providing essential aid and assistance to those in need.
Charities we support
Since 2024 we have proudly donated over £30,000 to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (‘the PRCS’). This heroic charity has been one of the very few charities operational on the ground in Gaza. It helps innocent victims of what the UN, Amnesty International and other experts call a genocide unfolding before our very eyes.
You may have heard the story of the killing of Hind Rajab in 2024. This five year old girl was trapped in a car in Gaza surrounded by her dead family who had been killed by Israeli forces. PRCS paramedics went in to rescue her, and both Hind and the paramedics were killed by an Israeli tank.
More recently, in early 2025, 15 paramedics from the PRCS were tied up and shot by Israeli soldiers, their bodies buried by a bulldozer to hide the evidence. This was reported in the BBC and the Guardian.
The paramedics of the PRCS know that there is a very high probability of being killed by Israeli armed forces, with their ambulances seemingly treated as moving targets.
We could think of no better way to support the people of Gaza than to donate to this amazing charity.
We believe that the situation in Palestine is not complex. It is simple. The mass killing of tens of thousands of innocent civilians is wrong in any circumstance.
This particular atrocity has effectively been backed by the UK government, who have supplied millions of pounds of weapons to the government of Israel throughout the latest conflict. What the UK government is now saying (late May 2025) against the continuing killings, blockades of humanitarian aid and destruction, is in our view too little too late.
As lawyers specialising in supporting the rights of those oppressed by forces much more powerful than themselves, we feel compelled to speak out against discrimination in all its forms.
This includes what Judge Brant of the International Court of Justice has called illegal apartheid operated by the government of Israel against Palestine and which has led to this horrendous situation.
