This
is the website of the London Legal Support Trust, an independent
charity dedicated to raising funds for free legal advice services.
Since their inception in 2003, they have been committed to improving
access to justice by assisting legal advice centres.
Their
mission is to ensure that everyone has fair access to justice. They
achieve this by providing grant funding and various forms of support
to 100 free legal advice centres throughout London and the South
East. These centres are indispensable, helping individuals protect
their rights and address issues such as debt, poverty, homelessness,
discrimination, and injustice.
For
those entering the legal profession, aligning yourself with such a
respected organisation not only enhances your understanding of the
importance of pro bono work but also allows you to actively
participate in meaningful initiatives that have a tangible impact on
the lives of vulnerable individuals. By supporting the London Legal
Support Trust, you are not just advancing your career; you are
helping to build a more just and equitable society.
On
this website, you will find an array of resources, including videos,
volunteer opportunities, and details about various events that you
can join to support their cause. Their flagship fundraising event is
the London Legal Walk, a 10k sponsored walk through central London.
Every year, thousands of members of the judiciary, barristers,
students, advice agencies, and solicitors come together to walk and
raise thousands of pounds to support free legal advice services in
London and the South East.
In addition to the London Legal Walk,
there are numerous other events you can participate in throughout the
year. These include the Big Half Marathon, London to Brighton Cycle,
Walk the Thames, Great Legal Bake, Great Legal Quiz, Walks in the
South East, Kew the Run, Abseil, Spartan, and London Legal Walkies.
These events are enjoyable and rewarding ways to get involved and
make a significant difference for those in need of legal assistance.
In
conclusion, this website is an invaluable resource for aspiring
lawyers and legal professionals who are passionate about making a
difference in their communities. By engaging with the London Legal
Support Trust, you have the opportunity to contribute directly to the
improvement of access to justice for those who need it most.
