London Legal Support Trust: taking to the skies for 2023

The London Legal Support Trust (LLST) is kicking off 2023 with a host of new challenges to raise money for crucial free legal advice services in London and the South East.

There are plenty of options for fundraising daredevils, with a 250ft abseil taking place on 22 April and a tandem skydiving challenge on 8 July. A Spartan 10km race, featuring obstacles, water, mud and more, will be held on 30 April, and a cycle challenge along the famous 55-mile route from London to Brighton is taking place on 10 September.

For those less athletically inclined, the 2023 calendar also features some more peaceful opportunities to fundraise, including the Great Legal Bake, the Great Legal Quiz and more.
