I am running a half marathon as part of the Cleary Gottlieb team to raise funds for Toynbee Hall, a charity based in East London which aims to reduce poverty and make society fairer through the provision of education, support and free legal advice.

Over 20 staff members from Cleary Gottlieb will be running 5k, 10k, or a half marathon on 2 December in Victoria Park.

Your support for Toynbee Hall would be greatly appreciated!

Toynbee Hall's vision is a future free from poverty. Our mission is to support people and to break down the barriers trapping them in poverty. If you have a low income, your opportunities may be limited. We want to make the system fairer by equipping local people with the skills and access to the networks to navigate it with confidence. That’s why our local services range from one-to-one advice for people in crisis, through to daily activities for older people and confidence-boosting mentoring programmes for disadvantaged young people.
