Advocate is the Bar’s national pro bono charity that makes it possible for barristers to balance a dedicated practice with making a significant contribution to the community. The Bar Pro Bono Unit is a charity which helps to find pro bono (free) legal assistance from volunteer barristers. Pro bono assistance is only available to those who cannot afford to pay and who cannot obtain public funding (Legal Aid).

Did you know that Advocate’s dedicated team place on average 112 cases a month, ably assisted by a growing number of barristers who freely give up their specialist skills to work on a pro bono basis in representing deserving individuals who cannot afford legal representation?

BUT, Advocate are reliant on external funding to do what they do.

ABC will be raising money for Advocate in February via a sponsored ‘112 challenge’. Bill, Hudson, Sam, Sarah, George & Margot have accepted the challenge to do 112 push-ups or squats a day or run or walk 112km throughout the month of February.
