Bar Council opens up Instagram to FRU

We were delighted to be given a new showcase by one of our most important supporters on Friday 30 April. The Bar Council allowed FRU to take over its Instagram feed for the day. The Bar Council makes a significant donation towards our costs each year, and currently the Chair of the Bar Council appoints our trustees. We took the opportunity to showcase some of our supporters, enabling them to explain why they are involved with our work. The contributors included:

• Mahika Gogi, one of our current volunteers,
• Rosie Vince, our latest Linklaters LLP secondee
• Daniel Barnett, barrister from Outer Temple Chambers and broadcaster
• The Secret Barrister, one of our patrons

We also showcased some feedback from clients represented by FRU volunteers.

FRU Chief Executive David Abbott said " Thanks to everyone who contributed and to Derek Sweeting QC, Bar Council Chair and the Bar Council communications team who helped us to set the whole thing up. We really appreciated the chance to talk about our work to a wide audience. The FRU content can be viewed here:
