The Southampton Legal Walk cannot come fast enough and as the days speed by the number of walkers continues to grow! We now have 19 teams and over 117 walkers committed to walking, running and sweating to support local advice agencies in their mission to ensure access to justice for all.

So far College Chambers is leading in numbers with 14 walkers, if each of their team members raised another £35 they would beat their fundraising target of £500 so please do sponsor them.

12 College Place Chambers must be following out fundraising tips to the letter! They have already raised £253, we hope you can continue to keep it rising! Simpkins & Co and College Chambers Southampton are hot on their heels, we’re hoping for some fierce competition for our top fundraiser spot!

Our amazing sponsors Dutton Gregory Solicitors are helping us all the way, without their support we couldn’t make the Southampton Legal Walk the fantastic success we know it’s going to be this year. Thanks also to our supporters Hampshire Law Society and South Hampshire Junior Lawyers Division who are promoting the event.

We are expecting a nice spring weather on May 9th to keep our walkers fresh for their 10 km challenge. And to celebrate the finish line out sponsors will be providing drinks for everyone, cheers!
​
We’re very excited to see you all there!
 

​We are really excited about the Southampton legal walk coming up in just 4 short weeks on 9 May. We already have 15 teams signed up and ready to walk and raise funds to support access to advice for all. We are proud to have District Judge John Sparrow and Robert Bourns, Vice President of The Law Society of England and Wales included in our lead walkers.
 
The South West Legal Support Trust has been established to support the provision of free legal advice in Southampton and the South West region since 2010 and the Southampton 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 The Hampshire Incorporated Law Society and Hampshire Junior Lawyers Division (JLD) will be gratefully received by thirsty walkers.
 
Alongside the support from our wonderful walkers the Southampton Legal Walk is sponsored by Dutton Gregory Solicitors. The law firm based in the South West is showing its extended support of the profession by sponsoring local advice charities and access to justice.
 
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!
