No5 Barristers' Chambers helping the homeless

The 250 members and all the staff at No5 Barristers’ Chambers have launched a Christmas appeal to help the homeless. Each of Chambers’ four regional offices have chosen a homeless charity in their area to benefit from practical support in providing basics such as food, bedding and personal hygiene products for homeless people. The four charities to benefit are Let’s Feed Brum in Birmingham, Crisis in London, the Julian Trust in Bristol and The Bridge in Leicester. CEO and Director of Clerking, Tony McDaid, explained: “For any number of reasons there are hundreds of people rough sleeping on the streets of our towns and cities across the UK. “The nature of our work means we are often in contact with people who are living very difficult lives and we are only too pleased to be able to give something back to the organisations that provide essential support services. “Members and staff in Birmingham have been dedicating time and effort to the Geoff Horsfield Foundation, which helps people who are not fortunate enough to have a home, and Let’s Feed Brum has ties to the Foundation. It is a natural choice.” Items will be collected in the reception areas of each of the regional offices until December 20.
