The Leeds Legal Walk is just around the corner!

5/27/2016

​The Leeds Legal Walk cannot come fast enough and as the days speed by, the number of walkers continues to grow! We now have 20 teams and over 160 walkers committed to walking, running and sweating to support local advice agencies in their mission to ensure access to justice for all.

So far, Leeds Personal Support Unit is leading in numbers with 29 walkers, if each their team members raised £100, they would beat their fundraising target of £3000, so please do sponsor them. 

Mills & Reeve LLP must be following out fundraising tips to the letter! They have already raised £350, we hope you can continue to keep it rising! Bond Dickinson and Leeds Citizens Advice Bureau are hot on their heels; we're hoping for some fierce competition for our top fundraiser spot!
 
We are expecting a nice warm weather on June 13th to help our walkers enjoy their 10 km challenge. And to celebrate the finish line, there will be drinks provided for everyone, cheers!

We're very excited to see you all there!

Less than a week to go - are you ready for the Sheffield Legal Walk?

5/20/2016

It is time to lace up those walking shoes as the Sheffield Legal Walk is fast approaching. If you would like to take part, there is still time for you to join us by registering here.

We currently have 10 teams signed up and a total of over 62 walkers, with our biggest teams coming from Irwin Mitchell and Nabarro, all raising vital funds to support access to advice for all. 

Top of the fundraising table is the wonderful Irwin Mitchell team who have so far raised a fantastic £350! This is a fantastic achievement and a hugely important part of making this year's Sheffield Legal Walk bigger and better than ever before. 

So far, the walk has raised just over £1020 altogether. This is a great start but we still need everyone to continue fundraising as much as possible to support local advice charities. 

The charities supported by the Sheffield Legal Walk help thousands of people every year gain proper access to justice. These charities are often the last resort for people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances but without resources to pay for private legal advice. Without this charitable work, many vulnerable people would be left alone to navigate the court and justice system without any advice or support. 

We're proud to have a charity walking with us on Monday the 23rd, HKC Law Clinic from Sheffield Hallam University. Please help us to continue to support the vital work they do in the local community by raising as much as you can in the Sheffield Legal Walk. 

It looks set to be a fantastic evening. A reminder that event registration on the day is open from 5 pm with the walk starting at 5:30 pm. A celebratory drink will be waiting for you at the finish line. 

We are very excited to see all of you on Monday the 23rd of May. The event would not be possible without your contribution.

Not long now - we're excited for the Leeds Legal Walk!

We are really excited about the Leeds Legal Walk coming up in just 4 short weeks on June 13th. We already have 8 teams signed up and ready to walk and raise funds to support access to advice for all. We are proud to have John Smithers, President of the Law Society of England and Wales; Chris Brown, the High Sheriff of West Yorkshire; and Taryn Lee QC, the Joint Head of Chambers of 37 Park Square Chambers, as our lead walkers. 

The Yorkshire Legal Support Trust has been established to support the provision of free legal advice in North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, and South Yorkshire since 2010, and the Leeds Legal Walk is an important part of our fundraising activities. The organisations we support make a huge difference in the lives of many people. The recent cuts to legal aid and the reduced household income for many working families due to the recession have increased the importance of free access to specialist legal advice for the poorest and most vulnerable people in our community. 

Registration for the event will open from 5pm with the walk starting at 5:30. About two hours later, walkers cross the finish line where refreshments will be provided, and gratefully received by thirsty walkers.

We would like to get as many people involved as possible, so gather your co-workers, friends, family, and why not dogs, to join us for an evening of walking and having fun while raising vital funds for legal advice agencies!

We're very excited to see you all there!
