On Tuesday 22nd July, we hosted a very special evening in collaboration with the LSE Legal Advice Clinic. This night was dedicated to remembering Mike, his brilliance and dedication to his students, to celebrate Mike’s Table, and mark the wonderful beginning of the LSE Legal Advice Clinic.

For those who didn’t know Mike, he was a Professor of Law at LSE, and the much-loved husband of Louise, who started Mike’s Table in his honour.

The evening was hosted on the 8th floor of the LSE law department, which is now the beautiful home of the Clinic. One of the highlights was bringing together representatives from our incredible charity partners at Mike’s Table, many of whom we met for the first time, after years of them referring guests. This evening was not only a huge thank you for their work, but a chance to introduce them to the Clinic.

We’ve written a blog on our website, reflecting on the evening. Please find the link in our bio, if you wish to find out more about the LSE Legal Advice Clinic.

Hüseyin was a guest at our Luminous Feast event in December. We soon discovered that Hüseyin is an incredibly talented artist, who uses his unique style to draw people who mean something important to him. At the event, Hüseyin used the back of our order pad to sketch two young guests who had come with their family. It was such a lovely moment of connection between our guests, who had never met before.

A few weeks later, we received beautiful drawings by Hüseyin of the Mike’s Table team- Louise, Mala and Justine (you might recognise them!). We were deeply touched, and will treasure these beautiful drawings.

Thank you and , our wonderful charity partner who holds weekly art therapy for asylum seekers and refugees in London.
