It was the perfect autumn evening on Monday 26 September, when over 259 members of the legal profession embarked on a 10km challenge to raise funds in support of access to justice in Bristol and the South West. Walkers followed the route which followed the River Avon, giving them the perfect opportunity to enjoy a lovely, sunny evening whilst showing their support for local legal advice services.
 
We had a grand total of 51 teams sign up with the biggest team on the day coming from Bristol CAB. 
 
A big congratulations also goes out to Bristol CAB, who topped the fundraising table, each raising over £1,410. This is a huge achievement and we are very grateful to this team for pulling out all the stops to raise as much money as possible to support access to justice.
 
Free legal advice services are often the last resort for local people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances without the means to pay for private legal advice. The funds raised by the Bristol Legal Walk, and the SWLST as a whole will support organisations that work throughout the region and help thousands of people every year navigate the complicated legal system.
 
This event was kindly sponsored by bSquared Costs Law and Irwin Mitchell. It was also supported by the Bristol Law Society.
 
The walk has broken all previous records, raising over £11,790 so far. Without your contribution the Bristol Legal Walk, the work of the SWLST would not be possible.
 
Please continue to fundraise and ensure that we can help more vital services than ever before.
