A dazzling decade

LLST throws 10th anniversary party 

The London Legal Support Trust (LLST)—the people behind the ever-popular annual Legal Walk and other charitable ventures has reached the grand old age of ten. After a decade of raising hundreds of thousands of pounds each year for law centres and free legal advice organisations, which do vital work in an underfunded area, the LLST is throwing a party to celebrate. As this is the LLST, all money raised will go to charity.

Tickets cost £50. The event is black tie, and has been sponsored by Lexacom Digital Dictation. Guests at the event, on 23 October, can enjoy a live band, photo booth, disco, magic, entertainment, a buffet and an opportunity to meet Judge Rinder (barrister Robert Rinder), star of a new ITV show and the UK’s answer to Judge Judy.

Those unable to attend can support the event by nominating their unsung hero of the free legal advice world – whether legally qualified or not, a volunteer or salaried – or telling LSST a story or anecdote that has inspired you to care about free legal advice. For more information on any of the above, see: http://londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk
