What does the challenge involve?

We are looking for teams from Universities and Law Schools around the country to come up with fun and imaginative ways to fundraise on behalf of both free legal advice charities.

Past fundraising activities have included sky diving, a gala boxing evening, cake bakes and mock trials. We are looking for one team, of any size, from each institution and full support will be provided throughout the process. The winners of the challenge will be the team that raises the most amount of money when the challenge ends.
