The London Legal Support Trust is urging people to ditch their New Year’s resolutions and indulge in some sweet charity by joining in with the 2016 Great Legal Bake. All you need to do is bake a cake, bring it into the office on 3 February and sell them to colleagues—and eat them of course. If you can’t do this on 3 February then you can still get into the Great Legal Bake spirit any time that week. Tweet the photos using #greatlegalbake. You can sign up now here.
