A record number of solicitors and their legal colleagues stepped out in support of this year’s London Legal Walk, sponsored by The Solicitors’ Charity. Around 18,000 walkers and runners took to the streets of London on Tuesday 18th June for the 10K challenge.
The London Legal Walk, now in its 20th year, was organised by the London Legal Support Trust and brought together the legal community supporting access to justice. During this time, the London Legal Walk has possibly become the world’s single biggest event for legal professionals.
Participants were invited to stop at The Solicitors’ Charity stand and find out more about the holistic wellbeing support that is available to solicitors and their dependants. All were invited to pedal on The Solicitors’ Charity smoothie bikes for a post-walk refreshing treat in the sunshine.
After crossing the finish line, the walkers celebrated at an evening street party featuring food vendors, musicians, stilt walkers, steel band, competitions, and a celebratory finish drink. Throughout the day, the charity captured photos of legal professionals walking with their teams, as well as cycling at The Solicitors’ Charity stand.
The Solicitors’ Charity, CEO, Nick Gallagher shared: “We’re proud to be sponsoring the London Legal Walk again this year and getting the opportunity to talk to so many legal professionals supporting a great cause”.
“Our fabulous ‘Smoothies for Solicitors’ Bikes were a huge hit – it was lovely to see so many people having a great time for a great cause! We look forward to participating again next year and spreading the word about the work we do and how it makes a positive difference to many solicitors in England and Wales.”
