The Free Representation Unit (FRU) is a charity dedicated to providing free legal representation to those who cannot afford to pay, before Tribunals in the Greater London area where legal-aid is unavailable. Founded in 1972, FRU is one of the country's foremost providers of free legal service.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a barrister specialising in clinical negligence and personal injury at 12 King's Bench walk. I am running for FRU as I strongly believe in fair access to justice for all, regardless of means. FRU provides legal advice and representation to those who cannot afford it and, therefore, cannot get proper access to justice. They are often the most vulnerable and the most in need. The recent deep cuts to legal aid spending make FRU's services even more vital today.

This is my first marathon and so I am both excited and terrified!
