Outside of the court room, Canterbury Law is known for its good works through the two community action initiatives the firm founded and continues to lead:

The Grateful Bread (2017), a group of volunteers who donate clothes and goods to the less fortunate in Bermuda on a biannual basis at a social celebration, bringing together residents from all racial and social backgrounds to help heal divisions in society, and SPS.bm (Support Public Schools, Bermuda) whose mission is to garner the private sector’s support to equip public school students with the instructional resources they need for a better-quality education. In 2024 SPS.bm was granted the Meritus Foundation Fellow award which recognizes community leaders helping People and Planet who demonstrate values of passion, courage, humility, and empathy.
