I have chosen We Love MCR as my President’s Charity of the Year and myself, as President of Manchester Law Society and our Vice President, David Anderson of St John’s Buildings, (Team MLS) are taking part in our effort to support the charity in this significant challenge. We support the charity in what they do and in particular the support they give to the communities of Manchester.

I'm taking part in We Love MCR Charity's latest trekking challenge: the "3 Peaks of The Peaks"! I'll be with a 100-strong team taking on a 25-mile route, recreating the steps of the brave Kinder Scout Trespassers who put their liberty on the line 90 years ago.

This is to raise funds for We Love MCR's work giving heart, hope and opportunity to Manchester's communities & young people.

They do this by:
- empowering Manchester's unbeatable communities to improve the lives of people in their neighbourhoods with the Stronger Communities Fund.
- by changing the lives of ambitious young Mancunians who can't rely on "the Bank of Mum and Dad" through the unique Manchester's Rising Stars Fund.
- being ready when Manchester needs it most, like with the Covid-19 Community Response Fund when they distributed £1million to 300+ groups on the frontline of the crisis, including foodbanks + domestic violence shelters
