By registering for the London Legal Walk, you agree to abide by the following conditions.

All walkers:

Walkers who bring animals to the event do so entirely at their own risk. The London Legal Support Trust accepts no liability for any injury, loss, or damage to persons or property caused by an attendee’s animal. Animal owners are responsible for ensuring they have adequate third-party liability insurance in place to cover any claims arising from their animal’s behaviour at the event.

2. You and your team will abide by any reasonable instructions or requests issued by Walk organisers and/or marshals.

3. Walkers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

4. You undertake that all of your team have read and will abide by these terms and conditions.

Beneficiaries (those eligible agencies that raise funding exclusively for themselves)

1. You will provide LLST with details of a bank account that is registered to the beneficiary agency. Walk funds will only be donated to that account.

2. You will inform LLST of any offline donations made for your walkers and ensure that those are also paid in to the registered bank account notified to LLST.

3. You will ensure that all funds raised through the Walk for your agency are used for the charitable purposes described on your walk fundraising web page and in your constitution.

4. Beneficiary charities (and others eligible to join as beneficiaries) will not recruit walkers to their team from law firms or chambers unless those walkers are a
trustee/director, staff member or volunteer of the charity or have another very close connection (e.g. family member of a staff member).

5. You will not request that other teams nominate your agency as part beneficiary unless provided with permission in writing (email) to do so by LLST. Eligible charities are those which provide or support legal advice or advocacy.
