Registrations are open for this year’s London Legal Walk, taking place on Tuesday 13 June.

More than 360 teams have already signed up for this year’s event, which will see participants taking on a 10km walk around the capital to raise funds for vital legal advice services.

With over £720,000 raised last year, the London Legal Support Trust is hoping for an even better result for 2023.

Those stepping out with a furry friend in tow can also join the London Legal Walkies event on Saturday 13 May. This 5km dog walk, taking place in Greenwich Park, is suitable for all dogs large and small.
