Justice needs you!

Lawyers entering the new year with charitable intentions can make their resolutions come true by taking part in a London Legal Support Trust (LLST) event in 2019.

First on the roster is the Great Legal Bake (25 February to 1 March), a nationwide push to raise funds for legal advice charities and law centres via cake. Just set up a stall in your office and ask colleagues to contribute.

On 17 June, the London Legal Walk takes place. Last year, more than 13,000 walkers raised £830,000. Legal Walks also take place in the South East from July to October. See the LLST website for more details of these, plus a London 10K run in July, London Legal Walkies (with dogs) in September, the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October and more.
