Look out this weekend and next week for legal teams belly dancing, salsa-ing, bachata-ing and reggaeton-ing, baking ten cakes, singing ten songs, swimming 100 lengths of a swimming pool, crossing ten bridges, walking, running, crafting or completing 100 minutes of yoga

It’s all part of the London Legal 10xChallenge, which runs from 5-14 June, with teams pledging to raise money through activities involving multiples of ten for the London Legal Support Trust, which supports legal advice centres in London and the South East.
