#InPictures: Northern Ireland barristers complete Giant’s Causeway Challenge for charity
More than a dozen barristers have completed a 20-kilometre walk along the top of the Giant’s Causeway to raise funds for the National Autistic Society NI.
The Bar of Northern Ireland’s latest fundraising event saw 16 members take on the challenge last weekend, with the good weather making the team’s route along Ballintoy Harbour, Elephant Rock and Dunseverick Castle even more spectacular.
Mark Conlon BL, chair of the Bar’s charity committee, said: “We are thrilled that so many Bar members have supported us in taking on this challenge. We are delighted to be able to support the vital work this charity undertakes everyday.
“The mission of the National Autistic Society Northern Ireland is to transform lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for the estimated 18,000 autistic people in Northern Ireland. They do this by providing targeted direct support to thousands of autistic people, family members and carers every year.”
The team is continuing to accept donations via JustGiving, where they are nearly 80 per cent of the way to their £10,000 target.
