The Great Legal Bake 2022

On Thursday 1 December 2022, the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre took part in the annual London Legal Support Trust’s Great Legal Bake. The event is for justice in support of frontline free legal advice services. It is also an opportunity to raise some vital funds to ensure that the most vulnerable and poorest people in our communities can get access to justice.

If you did not have a sweet tooth, you were sure to be enticed to buy. We were able to have a good spread and almost ran out of tables to put them on!

Throughout the day there were also fitness challenges for anyone that wanted to test their fitness levels and may have felt guilty by indulging in the sweet treats. The challenges consisted of a squat hold, plank hold, press ups and sit ups. It is fair to say that those that participated were pleasantly surprised with their personal bests. 

The bakers did a fantastic job in their creations, and it was a complete sell out. Some people kept coming back for more. The bakers were also entered into a competition. A massive congratulations to the winners below:
