Step right up: Legal Walks return for 2021

© Copyright LexisNexis 2026. All Rights Reserved.
This year will see the return of the annual Legal Walks, with fundraising events scheduled across the UK in summer and autumn
While 2020 forced the postponement of many walks, this year participants are invited to join in person once again, with walks due to take place across the country between 21 June and 21 October. In 2019, the walks raised more than £1m for free advice charities, and organisers are urging even greater efforts this year as services face overwhelming demand due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organised by the Access to Justice Foundation (in partnership with the regional Legal Support Trusts and committees) and the London Legal Support Trust, the events see participants from across the legal profession undertaking walks of 5-10km to raise funds for front-line legal services in their local region. This year the London Legal Walk, which in 2019 saw a record 15,000 participants join, is scheduled to take place on 18 October 2021.

For information, or to register for the walks taking place in the midlands, north and east of England, as well as Wales and Scotland, visit atjf.org.uk/legal-walks, or email lauracassidy@atjf.org.uk
