Stepping out for access to justice

Planning to take part in this year’s London Legal Walk but not yet registered? Then it’s time to get a wriggle on! 

The registration deadline for teams and walkers is 29 May. More than 900 teams have already signed up for the fundraising event on 9 June, now in its 22nd year and a staple of the legal calendar.

Last year, the event raised more than £1m for frontline free legal advice charities and non-profits in the South East. These charities provide life-changing advice on housing, debt, domestic abuse and other issues.

Register for this year's walk here.
