Thank you for visiting the Faegre & Benson walk team's fundraising page.
We are walking to raise funds for Hackney Community Law Centre, which provides free legal advice to the local community in one of the country's most deprived boroughs. The advice covers such areas as employment, immigration, housing and debt. Without the Law Centre, many people in the local community would have no other means of obtaining legal advice.
As many of Faegre & Benson's lawyers provide pro bono help at the Law Centre, we are personally aware of the crucial service which it provides for its community and of the need for financial support.
The London Legal Walk is 10 km long (that's 6.25 miles for the non-metric - far enough to get a good soaking if the weather doesn't improve) and passes rather aptly through legal London. It is anticipated that there will be about 1,800 participants, including Judges, lawyers and law students, and that over £100,000 will be raised for social welfare legal centres in London and the Home Counties.
We are pleased to walk to raise funds for this service and delighted to be joined by a team from the Law Centre itself and co-volunteers at the Centre from Debevoise & Plimpton and BPP Law School.
Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
All funds - including gift aid - received by the London Legal Support Trust through this page will be donated to Hackney Community Law Centre, without deduction.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: London Legal Support Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
