Bristol Legal Walk 2018

The beautiful city of Bristol… yes it is hilly- but we didn’t let that stop us at the 2018 Legal Walk. Whilst working on building our calf muscles, the main aim of the walk was to raise money for South West Legal Support Trust; one of the eight Trusts spanning the whole of England and Wales, which work together as a network to increase access to justice, by supporting pro-bono legal advice agencies within their local region. 

In total, 235 walkers formed 32 different teams, and collectively raised nearly £7,500!! This is an awesome effort, and with donations still rolling in, who knows just how successful the 2018 walk will prove to be! Let’s try to smash last year’s record of over £10,000!!

All donations go towards the continuation of local community legal advice agencies, enabling them to support the most vulnerable in our society. This is a very worthy cause- so, if you’ve been inspired to invest into the lasting and life-changing positive work of pro-bono legal support services, head over to our website to donate now! :) 

Big thanks to this year’s sponsors: Red Recruitment, Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, and the Bristol Law Society. To our Lead Walkers: Becky Moyce, President of the Bristol Law Society, His Honour Judge Stephen Wildblood QC, Robert Bourns, former President of the Law Society of England and Wales, and finally, Helen Woolley, Head of bSquared Law- we sincerely thank you for the time you took out of your busy schedules to help us make the Bristol Legal walk such an enjoyable event to attend. Hopefully, we will see you all again next year!
