MLRC is largely dependent on fundraising, which is our main income source outside some training income and legal costs awards on occasion.
For up-to-date information on what it costs to run MLRC, access the most recent Audited Accounts on our publications pageĀ here.
The value of our service far exceeds the cost as a result of a large number of in-kind donations we receive e.g.
  • Reduced rent and utilities
  • Free conference and reception facilities
  • Pro bono legal services by barristers
  • Pro bono legal and paralegal placements from collaborative law firms
  • Pro bono expert reports from doctors/engineers etc.
  • Volunteer administrators
  • Volunteer part-time solicitors
MLRC has adopted the Guidelines forĀ Charitable Organisations on Fundraising from the PublicĀ which are issued by the Charities Regulator.
