Only one week to go - are you ready for the Northampton Legal Walk?

20/4/2016

It is time to lace up those walking shoes and starting to stretch those legs as the Northampton Legal Walk is almost upon us! There's still time for you to join: register here. 

We currently have 10 teams signed up and a total of 85 walkers, with our biggest teams coming from Senate House Chambers and Shoosmiths, all raising vital funds to support access to advice for all.

Top of the fundraising table is the wonderful Borneo Martell Turner Coulston LLP team who have so far raised a fantastic £464! This is a fantastic achievement and a hugely important part of making this year’s Northampton Legal Walk bigger and better than ever before.

So far the Walk has raised just under £1,300 altogether. This is a great start but we still need everyone to continue fundraising as much as possible to support local advice charities.

The charities supported by the Northampton Legal Walk help thousands of people every year gain proper access to justice. These charities are often the last resort for people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances but without the resources to pay for private legal advice. Without this charitable work many vulnerable people would be left alone to navigate the court and justice system without any advice or support.

We’re proud to have two charities walking with us on Monday 25, Central and East Northamptonshire Citizens Advice Bureau and Age UK Northamptonshire. Please help us to continue to support the vital work they do in the local community by raising as much as you can at the Northampton Legal Walk.

It looks set to be a fantastic evening with a celebratory drink provided at the finish line by our sponsors Hewitsons.

A big thank you also to our other wonderful supporters the Northamptonshire Law Society. We need sponsorship and support in order to be able to continue running our legal walk events their support is invaluable and key to continuing the work of the Midlands Legal Support Trust. Thank you.

The Nottingham Legal Walk is just around the corner!

The Nottingham Legal Walk cannot come fast enough and as the days speed by the number of walkers continues to grow! We now have 15 teams and over 102 walkers committed to walking, running and sweating to support local advice agencies in their mission to ensure access to justice for all.

So far Citizens Advice Broxtowe (Eastwood)​ is leading in numbers with 17 walkers, if each of their team members raised £30 they would beat their fundraising target of £500 so please do sponsor them.

Nottingham Law Centre must be following out fundraising tips to the letter! They have already raised £305, we hope you can continue to keep it rising! Nelsons Solicitors and Actons Solicitors are hot on their heels, we’re hoping for some fierce competition for our top fundraiser spot!
​
Nottinghamshire Law Society and Nottinghamshire Junior Lawyers Division are supporting us all the way, without them we couldn’t make the Nottingham Legal Walk the fantastic success we know it’s going to be this year.

We are expecting a nice spring weather on May 9th to keep our walkers fresh for their 10 km challenge.

We’re very excited to see you all there!

Not long now - we're excited for the Nottingham Legal Walk!

We are really excited about the Nottingham legal walk coming up in just 4 short weeks on May 9. We already have 11 teams signed up and ready to walk and raise funds to support access to advice for all. We are proud to have the President of The Law society of England and Wales, Jonathan Smithers and High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Judy Naake included in our lead walkers.
 
The Midland Legal Support Trust has been established to support the provision of free legal advice in Nottingham and the Midland region since 2010 and the Nottingham legal walk is an important part of our fundraising activities. The organisations we support make a huge difference in the lives of many people. The recent cuts to legal aid and the reduced household income for many working families due to the recession have increased the importance of free access to specialist legal advice for the poorest and most vulnerable people in our community.
 
Registration for the event will open from 5pm. The Walk will start at 5:30. About two hours later walkers cross the finish line where refreshments provided by Nottinghamshire Law Society and Nottingham Junior Lawyers Division (JLD) will be gratefully received by thirsty walkers.
 
We would like to get as many people involved as possible, so gather your co-workers, friends, family, and why not dogs, to join us for an evening of walking and having fun while raising vital funds for legal advice agencies!

The Northampton Legal Walk cannot come fast enough and as the days speed by the number of walkers continues to grow! We now have 9 teams and over 70 walkers committed to walking, running and sweating to support local advice agencies in their mission to ensure access to justice for all.

So far Shoosmiths is leading in numbers with a whopping 32 walkers, if each of their team members raised £22 they would beat their fundraising target of £700 so please do sponsor them.

Borneo Martell Turner Coulston LLP must be following our fundraising tips to the letter! They have already raised £310, we hope you can continue to keep it rising! Shoosmiths and Senate House Chambers are hot on their heels, we’re hoping for some fierce competition for our top fundraiser spot!

Our amazing supporters Hewitsons and Northamptonshire Law Society are helping us all the way, without their support we couldn’t make the Northampton Legal Walk the fantastic success we know it’s going to be this year.

We are expecting nice spring weather on Monday 25 April to keep our walkers fresh for their 10km challenge. And to celebrate the finish line is a complementary drink!

We’re very excited to see you all there!
