The London Legal Support Trust and the Access to Justice Foundation are encouraging bakers to get their cake tins ready as the Great Legal Bake is just around the corner. The event, held as part of Pro Bono Week (6th-10th November), is a great chance to show support for specialist free legal advice agencies and help those in need.
With over 100 bakes already registered, the Great Legal Bake is set to be a fantastic event. Chair of the Pro Bono Week organising committee, barrister Toby Brown, commented: “The sweetest part of Pro Bono Week is undoubtedly the Great Legal Bake, where we’ll see law students through to judges sharing cakes and other baked goods across the country. It raises much needed funds for free legal advice charities, so please either get your baking apron on, or come ready to eat cake with donation in hand!”
The event plays a vital role in tackling the £30million funding gap faced by advice sector organisations this year. This gap has been caused by the cost of living crisis and is £10million more than it was in 2020. Last year, the event raised £20,000 and London Legal Support Trust are hoping the bakers out there will once again show their support for this important cause.
