The Ghana High Commissioner to the UK with the lawyers during their visit
Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson, has engaged Ghanaian lawyers practicing in the UK to mobilise support for members of the Ghanaian community through voluntary legal services.
The meeting, held on Friday, April 24, 2026, forms part of efforts by the High Commission to strengthen consular support for Ghanaians living abroad.
It follows an earlier interaction with the Ghanaian Lawyers’ Group, during which the High Commission appealed to diaspora-based legal professionals to contribute their expertise toward addressing legal challenges confronting Ghanaians in the UK.
At the latest engagement, the lawyers expressed their readiness to collaborate, agreeing to serve as a readily available resource to provide legal advice and assistance to the Ghanaian community.
They also pledged to participate in upcoming town hall meetings being planned by the High Commissioner, where they are expected to help address a wide range of legal concerns affecting Ghanaians and persons of Ghanaian descent.
Speaking after the meeting, Mrs. Benson reiterated the mission’s commitment to enhancing consular services and ensuring that Ghanaians in the UK receive timely support, especially in times of legal difficulty.
She further disclosed plans to establish a comprehensive database of professionals, including lawyers, doctors, nurses, social workers and other service providers to support the work of the High Commission.
According to her, the initiative will improve coordination in responding to emergencies involving Ghanaians, while also creating a structured support system within the diaspora community.
The High Commission expressed appreciation to the lawyers for their willingness to serve in a voluntary capacity, describing the move as a strong demonstration of unity and commitment to community welfare.
