Reading Legal Walk – Tuesday 17th September

Led by HHJ Emma Nott

The Reading Legal Walk is a 10km sponsored walk in order to raise vital funds for the provision of free legal advice in Reading. 100% of the funds raised go directly to free legal advice agencies in Reading & The Thames Valley.

You will be walking shoulder to shoulder with fellow members of the Reading legal community. Judges, law firms, barristers chambers, advice agencies, in house legal departments, and university law groups will walk in unison, before enjoying a refreshing drinks reception provided by LLST.

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 Reading 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 ends at Forbury Gardens.

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 crisis.
The number of people seeking help with Debt, Benefits, Homelessness and Employment has also increased dramatically since the start of the pandemic. Those seeking help with Domestic Violence has also risen sharply.
Taking part in the Reading Legal Walk raises vital funds for local advice agencies.
