he Westminster & Holborn Law Society is proud to be participating in the London Legal Walk 2022.
The 10km walk will take place on Tuesday 28 June 2022 and, as always, is followed by a street party in Carey Street.
This event is a stalwart in the diary. It is a brilliant opportunity to socialise with fellow legal professionals and raise money for a vital cause: pro bono legal services. Over 100 charities offering free legal advice in London and the South East receive funding from the London Legal Walk each year. These charities play a crucial role in filling the gap in access to justice left by cutbacks to legal aid. They help vulnerable people in our community: women and children facing trafficking and labour exploitation; homeless people and families living in unacceptable housing conditions; people living with disabilities; people facing unfair dismissal or discrimination in the workplace.
If you would like to walk with us, please email cwhlawsoc@ gmail.com. Find out more about the event on the London Legal Support Trust's website: https://londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk/ourevents/london-legal-walk-2022/ ■

e’re delighted to announce that The London Legal Walk will be back on 28 June 2022. We’ve already had 75 teams sign up and we’re hoping that the event will be bigger than ever this year and with your help, raise £1 million.

Quote from Nezahat Cihan, CEO of London Legal Support Trust: “We are excited to welcome back as many teams as possible this year for the walk. The Legal Walk is not only a fantastic opportunity to raise much needed funds but it is also a great opportunity for team bonding, especially during a time when so many of us work from home. LLST remains committed to continuing to raise desperately needed funds for legal advice agencies in London and the South East. As the pandemic continues to dominate the headlines and impact our lives, these funds are needed more now than ever.” Are you tough enough? If you’re looking for something faster paced, we have a host of brand-new challenges to help you test your mettle. Are you tough enough to become a Spartan Warrior? We have limited places at the 5K & 10k Spartan 8 | CENTRAL LONDON LAWYER
obstacle course. You’ll leap through fire, practice your spear throwing, climb up cargo nets and, of course, get very muddy. Sign up on your own or as a team at https://rebrand.ly/ LLSTSpartan22. If you’re more of a daredevil, why not take on the biggest freefall abseil in the UK? At a dizzying height of 262m, you’ll be abseiling down the ArcelorMittal Orbit sign up at https://rebrand.ly/LLSTAbseil22, taking in the unique view of London as well as seeing if you really do have a head for heights or not. If you’d like something a bit more on the quiet side, we also have the very picturesque Kew the Run, a fantastic 10K run through Kew Gardens https://rebrand.ly/LLSTKewTheRun22. Your support is vital and it helps people like Monica who was unfairly dismissed from her employer while pregnant. With support from an LLST Centre of Excellence, she was able to get a settlement that provided for her and her baby. However you support us, your donations make a real difference to real people.
