Lord Justice Haddon-Cave and Lord Justice Gross have led a cohort of fundraisers along the Thames to raise more than £19,000 for free legal advice services.
More than 200 legal professionals and friends took part, either walking or running, in the annual Walk the Thames challenge last week. The event is a half or full marathon, following the river through London and out to the Surrey countryside.
Nezahat Cihan, chief executive of the London Legal Support Trust (LLST), which organises the event, said: ‘Receiving the free legal advice they need makes a huge difference to people's lives, reducing debt, poverty and homelessness, and combatting discrimination and injustice. We, at LLST, ensure every pound raised goes as far as it can to help the most vulnerable people who need free legal advice.’
