More About Gareth
Outside of my legal career, I have dedicated much of my time to charitable fundraising. For the past 15 years, I have organised an annual charity cricket day in support of Zoe’s Place, a children’s hospice in Liverpool that provides vital care for children with life-limiting conditions. What began as a small gathering has now grown into an event that attracts several hundred attendees, and over the years we have raised more than £35,000 for the hospice.
