The ELST is extremely grateful to all the lovely people to step out and show us your support at the 2018 Chelmsford Legal Walk. Whilst being slightly shorter, at 8km (instead of 10km like our other legal walks), the Chelmsford team held their own, with 11 teams and 82 wonderful walkers. We would also like to thank our sponsors, Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP and Trinity Chambers who teamed up with us to help put together a great event!  

Walking to raise money for free legal advice service in the local and wider community, the charitable work of this year’s walk will go on to positively impact the Chelmsford area for the future. If you’re interested in aiding access to justice in the East, don’t worry- just because the walk is over, it doesn’t mean your chance to help has passed! Donate now! 

Cambridge looked glorious in the beautiful weather on the 11th of June (as many of documented on twitter through our photography challenge) during the course of the 10k legal walk.

16 teams turned out to follow our brilliant Senior Walkers: Dr Andrew Harter CBE- High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire, Judge Min Kyung KIM- all the way from the Daejon District Court of Seoul and Her Honour Judge Lindsay Davies- Circuit Judge. We are very grateful to you for leading the way!

So far, our pledged donations total nearly £4,500! This is an incredible effort, and the support of all those who have raised money is greatly appreciated. Thanks to you, we are one step closer to the priceless aim of increasing access to justice for those who most need it, as the money raised by the legal walk will go towards sustaining free legal advice services in the Cambridge region.

Once again, a big thank you to all those who got involved- we look forward to seeing you next year! Fingers crossed for the same sunny weather! 

On Thursday evening, an encouraging 25 teams (!), collectively consisting of over 150 members (!!), took to the streets of Norwich for this year’s Legal Walk. Special congratulations must go to Fosters Solicitors, who managed to scrounge up the largest team of walkers on the day, with 19 members. However, we at the ELST, would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to each and every individual who took part or contributed to make the walk such a charitable success.

Nothing makes for a more cheery occasion, than like-minded people coming together, to walk and talk for the incredibly worth-while cause of increasing awareness and access to justice, by raising the vital funds required by pro bono legal services, in order to continue to help and support their local community. The team from Hatch Brenner can testify to this, scoring fish & chips from the local chippy along the way!

The Norwich legal walk would not have been the same without its sponsor: Olsen Legal Recruitment Services, or its two supporters: the Norfolk and Norwich Law Society and Adnams Southwold Food & Drink, who all played a part in this fabulous events success.
