Raising dough for Legal Support Trust

A legal charity is looking for lawyers who are handy in the kitchen to help it raise some dough. The 2014 Great Legal Bake is an annual national event that raised £10,000 for legal advice centres last year, and is organised by the Legal Support Trust (LST), the same people who arrange the annual Legal Walk. Firms and chambers can raise 50% for the LST and 50% for their own favourite legal charity.
