A note to our supporters
Our thanks for 2012
There are just so many people and entities to thank that we
always worry we cannot get across our gratitude however we shall
try and in particular in 2012 want to thank:
For getting involved:
Our patrons who took a leading role in our events, both
attending events and advocating our cause. Lord Judge and Lord
Neuberger joined the London Legal Walk whilst Lord Phillips braved
the cold in February, leading the 40 mile Walk-the-Thames.
All of the team organisers and walkers who took part in the
London Legal Walk and Walk the Thames in 2012. The way the event
keeps growing is phenomenal and we simply could not do it without
you.
We would also like to thank the incredible array of senior
lawyers who, in addition to our patrons, led the London Legal Walk
in 2012 including (in no particular order) the Presidents of the
Law Society and CiLEX, the Chair of the Bar Council, the DPP, the
Official Solicitor, the Attorney General and Solicitor General, the
Director of Public Prosecutions, the Chairman of the Legal Services
Board, and the Chairman of the SRA).
Many senior Judges walked including, of course, our star
fundraiser Lord Justice Lloyd who again raised over £7,000 in
sponsorship.
London Legal Walk Organising Committee
The members of this are crucial in helping with the on-going
promotion, on the day logistics and running of the London Legal
Walk. With thanks to: Kate Walmsley of the Law Society, Emma
Turnbull from Allen & Overy, Sarah Cox and Martin Curtis from
LawWorks, Kuki Taylor from the Bar Pro Bono Unit, Harriet Deane
from the Bar Council, and James Banks and Toby Brown from the
Access to Justice Foundation.
Many other volunteers help out on an ad hoc basis, for which we
are very grateful, particularly the groups of law students and
others who help as stewards at the walks.
There are so many thank you's we would like to say in
particular for:
