This year’s London Legal Walk, postponed due to COVID-19 until 5 October, will now take place virtually, organiser London Legal Support Trust has announced
Last year, more than 15,000 walkers raised £890,000 for free legal advice services. This year, the walk will take the form of a 10xChallenge―participants are encouraged to complete an activity based around the number 10. It could be walking or running 10K locally, baking 10 cakes, 1,000 star jumps or 100 minutes of Zumba―a creative approach is encouraged.
Legal advice agencies are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patrick Marples of South West London Law Centres, says they are helping ‘a whole new group of people who have never experienced poverty, been unemployed or had to claim benefits but have been suddenly plunged into hardship’.
