ATJF & the extra mile

The Access to Justice Foundation (ATJF) has launched a ‘Go the Extra Mile for Justice’ initiative to raise money for free legal advice centres

Lawyers and their colleagues, friends and family can take part by travelling a number of miles in their own time, at their own pace and in any manner they like―it could be walking, running, skipping, cycling or hopping. Each mile is sponsored, with a suggested donation of £10 per mile.

Laura Cassidy, ATJF development and fundraising manager, said: ‘We’re hoping that as many people as possible will join in the challenge and help us raise vital funds.’

For more information, visit: atjf.org.uk/go-the-extra-mile-for-justice or follow the hashtag #GotheExtraMile.

Lawyers can also look ahead to the legal walks, postponed due to COVID-19. The London Legal Walk is scheduled for 5 October 2020. You can sign up at londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk.
