Walk, run or bake for justice

Lawyers are donning their pinnies and practising their icing skills ahead of the Great Legal Bake next month, held as part of Pro Bono Week (3–7 November)

Some 40 teams have already entered the annual baking event, organised by the London Legal Support Trust to raise money for free legal advice charities.

For those who prefer the outdoors, make the most of the autumn sun on 4 October by joining Lord Justice Haddon-Cave, Lord Justice Fraser and Mr Justice Constable on a run from Tower Bridge to Putney, at this year’s Walk the Thames. Walkers can join Sir Peter Gross and Judge Jill Brown.

For more about both events, see londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk.
