The extra mile

The Access to Justice Foundation, is asking supporters to take part in its ‘Go the Extra Mile for Justice Day’ on 5 November in celebration of Pro Bono Week 2020 (2–6 November)

Go the Extra Mile challenges people to raise funds for the free legal advice sector by travelling a number of miles in any form they like, whether walking, running, skipping, cycling or even hopping.

Laura Cassidy, development and fundraising manager at the Foundation, said it had been ‘an extremely challenging year for the free legal advice sector’.
