A team of walkers from Palmers Solicitors will once again be taking part in the annual London Legal Walk on Tuesday 28th June.
The 10K walk, which is now in its 18th year, takes place in central London and brings together the legal community.
We will be walking with the Lord Chief Justice and thousands of lawyers to raise funds for the London Legal Support Trust, this is the biggest fundraising event in aid of free legal advice and support for everything from Law Centres and Citizens Advice services to refugee specialist support services.
Two-thirds of the UK population don’t know how to get legal advice and 14 million people who live in poverty can’t afford to pay for it.
The London Legal Walk raises vital funds to ensure that legal help reaches our communities’ most vulnerable people. Receiving good legal advice at the right time can make a huge difference to people’s lives reducing their chances of facing debt, poverty, homelessness, exploitation and discrimination.
Support is needed now more than ever with the long-term challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Reduced funding in the charity sector means advice agencies are under more pressure ever before whilst facing unprecedented need.
The event supports over 100 legal advice agencies in London and the South East. If you would like to support the Palmers walkers and help us raise money for this deserving cause, you can make a donation here.
In aid of Dementia Awareness Week (13 - 17 May 2024) Palmers Solicitors are proud to support Alzheimer’s Society (RCN 296645) to help end the devastation caused by dementia.
