Did you try and mention all of these in your PS or did your referee cover them?

It's not my area, but I would think so. Be aware that only those directly relevant to Law will help. For example, IMO, some, e.g. running a business, girl guides, and catering, are not worth mentioning.

I mentioned these - I have done a couple more things but there wasn’t enough words left. My referee just reiterated the justice committee of syp x

I often explain that extra curriculars aren't like XP in a video game, you can't grind your way into getting an offer by adding on extra things. Admissions tutors will be looking for relevant experiences that you have reflected on in detail.
All of which is a bit moot as you've applied now, but I thought it was worth discussing as there seems to be some perception that you need endless extra curriculars to impress admissions staff.

In all honesty this is a very excessive list to try and cover on your PS, (as you've found). Better to cover the two or three most relevant examples in substantial detail and demonstrate your suitability and motivation for the course. Your referee can then list the rest.

Thank you for your help, my referee didn’t really talk about my extra curriculars in my reference. My statement wasn’t really listing off the bat- I would say something and how it would aid me in a degree 😄
