Bedford Legal Walk

Thursday 27th June 2019

​The Bedford Legal Walk is a 10km sponsored walk to raise money for local advice services.


​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 Bedford 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 at 5.00pm 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 walk and we wish you the best of luck!

We would love to keep up with your progress during the walk so tweet us at @Easternlegal using the hashtag #legalwalk. You can also follow us on Instagram @easternlegalsupporttrust. 

Once the walk is finished we invite you to join us for a complimentary drink to celebrate the walk! There will also be a raffle with some amazing prizes.
