Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and for your interest in sponsoring the Bar Pro Bono Unit team at the London Legal Walk 2010.
The London Legal Walk is a 10km walk(or run!) around some of London's most famous legal landmarks. All this is done to raise funds to help legal advice charities throughout and the south east. The Bar Pro Bono Unit works to facilitate barristers, working for free, to help individuals and charities who cannot afford their assistance both with advice and representation. Our cases range hugely from basic legal matters but which are really important to a certain individual, to important test cases that set down precedent for years to come. We help in every area of law and in every place in England and Wales - no mean feat for a small team of 6! For more information on our work see www.barprobono.org.uk Most of the Unit team members will be making their way through the course at a comfortable pace, however, we also have some runners in our team who will be right up at the front!
Please give generously - the need for free legal assistance is greater than ever. The number of people in need is ever rising and we are doing our best, along with the many other pro bono and legal advice services to meet this. Join us in trying to help.
