Hello all!

Aequitas is a group of five friendly, hard working and fun loving law students looking to raise awareness of and fund raise for the pro bono cause.

In case you were wondering what pro bono is, it is legal work that is performed voluntarily by kind and helpful lawyers, free of charge for those who cannot afford to pay or obtain public funding (legal aid). The Bar Pro Bono Unit is a charity that helps to find such free legal work, and thus we have chosen to take part in a worthwhile cause. For more information on the charity, please visit http://www.barprobono.org.uk/.

We want to 'fun' raise- that is, organise events that are enjoyable for everyone and anyone! Details of such events will be coming soon, in addition we have some wonderful ideas of other ways to find contributions to the pron bono charity.

Finally, if you're feeling generous and like what we have to say, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!
