It was a fantastic sunny day on Monday 9 May for 145 members of the legal profession who embarked on a 10 km challenge and raised funds to support access to justice in Southampton. The route took in the lovely sights the city has to offer, including the less well known parts of the city, and the weather was sunny and warm, a perfect spring day to walk and raise money for a vital cause.
We had a grand total of 22 teams signed up with the biggest teams on the day coming from College Chambers, Abels Solicitors and Moore Blatch!
A big congratulations goes out to 12 College Place, who topped the fundraising table having raised over £1,040! This is a huge achievement and we are very grateful to our team who pulled out all the stops to raise as much money as possible to support access to justice.
We were joined by three charities, Isle of Wight Law Centre, Citizens Advice Southampton and Advice Southampton. These charities are often the last resort for people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances and find themselves unable to pay for private legal advice. The funds raised by the Southampton Legal Walk, and the SWLST as a whole, will go to support these charities and more, throughout the region helping thousands of people every year navigate the complicated legal system.
This event was supported by our generous sponsors, Dutton Gregory Solicitors, who sponsored the welcoming finish line reception. It was a perfect end to a great walk and the drinks were very well received by our thirsty walkers.
The walk has broken all previous records, raising over £5,500 so far. Without your contribution the Southampton Legal Walk and 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.
