This year’s London Legal Walk will be held on Tuesday, 28 June, London Legal Support Trust (LLST) has confirmed

The always-popular 10km event welcomed more than 8,500 walkers last year, raising more than £650,000 for vital free legal advice centres. For this year’s walk, Nezahat Cihan, CEO of LLST, says: ‘We hope to return to pre-pandemic levels when we had 15,000 walkers and raised nearly £1m.’ 

As well as the city centre route, there is a ‘parks route’ through some of the Capital’s many beautiful green spaces. Sign up, solo or in teams, at: londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk or email signups@llst.org.uk.
