These are difficult times for free legal advice charities, but lawyers have been putting their best foot forward to garner additional funds

Lawyers in the South-East of England have already raised nearly £85,000 this summer through Legal Walks, organised by the London Legal Support Trust (LLST).

More than 400 teams have also signed up for the annual London Legal Walk, due to take place this year on 18 October.

To take part in this always-popular event, sign up by 8 October here or email the events team at signups@llst.org.uk.
