Leeds Legal Walk
The Leeds Legal Walk is a 10km sponsored walk around Leeds to raise money for local advice services.
The Three Walks Challenge We are especially excited to announce that this year there will be a Three Walks Challenge in Yorkshire. This challenge, supported by the Yorkshire Union of Law Societies, will include our 10K in York on May 1st, a 10K in Sheffield on May 8th, and a 10K in Leeds on May 14th. The Three Walks Challenge is a great opportunity to raise the stakes and increase donations. This year we hope to raise over £15,000 in Yorkshire and we know that this is a great community that will rise to the challenge! Sign up here! Yorkshire Funds for Access for Justice in Yorkshire!

We simply can’t overcome the effects of the huge reduction in government and local authority funding over the past few years. What we can do is to ensure that many of the people most in need get help who would otherwise have been denied.
