Hastings Legal Walk – Wednesday 25th September 2024

The Hastings Legal Walk is a 10km sponsored walk along the picturesque seafront or over the hills to raise vital funds for the provision of free legal advice in Surrey. Funds raised go directly to Hastings Advice and Representation Centre, BHT Sussex, and Citizens Advice 1066.

By taking part, you will be walking shoulder to shoulder with fellow members of the Hastings legal community. Law firms, barristers chambers, advice agencies, in house legal departments, and university law groups will walk the breath-taking seafront route or the hilly route in unison, before enjoying a refreshing drinks reception provided by LLST at the First In Last Out.

Demand for legal advice services has risen dramatically over the past year. The rising cost of living has heaped immense pressure on legal advice agencies who are struggling to cope with such unprecedented demand. We believe everybody should be able to receive legal advice when they need it most. By joining the Hastings Legal Walk, you can help to ensure the people of your community have fair access to justice, and the beneficiary agencies can keep the lights on, and the doors open for the people who need them most.

The walk starts and finishes at the First In Last Out pub (TN34 3EY) with drinks.

Why We Walk

Why We Walk:

The important thing is that we raise as much as possible for the advice agencies who are struggling to maintain services with the increased challenges created by the rising cost of living.

The number of people seeking help with Debt, Benefits, Homelessness and Employment has increased dramatically over the last year. Now more than ever it’s crucial to support the free legal advice agencies on the frontline.

Taking part in the Hastings Legal Walk raises vital funds for local advice agencies BHT Sussex, Hastings Advice and Representation Centre, and Citizens Advice 1066.
