Bake, run or quiz for justice
As the summer days draw to a close, we look ahead to our autumn FUNdraising events. Why not take on a challenge and raise vital funds while you're at it?

Whether you want to get fit for a good cause, challenge your general knowledge skills or bake the world a butter place, we have something for you.

Our favourite autumnal Legal Walk is back! Come and join LLST’s marathon or half marathon, Walk the Thames. This scenic stroll from Tower Bridge to Hampton Court takes in some beautiful landmarks and parks (with some pubs along the way). If you fancy a faster pace, you can also run it. Register here for Walk The Thames.

Whether it's a sweet treat or a savoury snack that takes your fancy, get baking for a good cause and sign up for the Great Legal Bake. All you need to do is register through the link below and we’ll send you a bake pack full of useful stuff like posters, labels and stickers. So grab a group of friends or colleagues and organise a bake sale in your office, chambers, court or university and sell your tasty treats as part of National Pro Bono Week. Register here for the Great Legal Bake.

The Great Legal Quiz is a fantastic evening for people to have fun and compete whilst doing their part to help support those most in need of specialist free legal advice and help. You can take part in a local pub, your office, or online. We provide the questions and answer sheets, thanks to a professional quiz master. Did we mention it’s a national competition too, so not only will you be competing with your friends—you’ll also be going head to head with some of the finest legal minds across the UK. Register here for the Great Legal Quiz.

However you choose to get involved, every penny raises vital funds for life changing free legal advice. Find out more about the LLST here.
