Birmingham Legal Walk

Monday 20th May 2019

The Birmingham Legal Walk is a 10km sponsored walk around Birmingham and the city sights to raise money for local advice services.

Sponsored by 

A Birmingham City University team of staff and students will take part in the Birmingham Legal Walk 2019 to raise funds for Birmingham legal advice charities. BCU is proud to sponsor this enjoyable and worthwhile event

On the evening of 20th May, staff and students from the University of Law Birmingham Campus will walk the 10k route of the Birmingham Legal Walk 2019 which takes them past the University Campus on the corner of Hall Street and Great Hampton Street. The University is proud to continue to support the charity that works tirelessly to raise money to provide free legal advice for all” - University of Law - Birmingham

Why do we walk?

The need for free legal advice centres has grown in the past few years. The recession has increased poverty and reduced support services. Meanwhile funding for the advice centres themselves has reduced.

The organisations we support:
  • Prevent families being made homeless
  • Prevent destitution
  • Help older people gain the support to which they are entitled
  • Help women and children who have been trafficked for domestic servitude or prostitution.

Why should you take part?

We simply can’t overcome the effects of the huge reduction in government and local authority funding over the past few years.  What we can do is to ensure that many of the people most in need get help who would otherwise have been denied.

By taking part in the Birmingham Legal Walk and seeking sponsorship from your friends, family and colleagues, you will be helping to secure vital funds needed for this important cause.

What will happen on the day?

Registration will be open between 5.00pm and 5.30pm and we ask that all participants report to register before having a photograph taken with our lead walkers. Once this has been done you are ready to set off on the 10km walk and we wish you the best of luck!

We will be running a photography challenge and encourage you to enter by tweeting your photographs from the event @MidlandLST using the hashtag #legalwalk.

The post-walk celebration will begin upon your arrival at the end venue and we would like to invite you to join us for a complementary drink to celebrate your enormous success!
