Our member firm in London, ebl miller rosenfalck, took part in the London Legal Walk 2022; a 10km walk on Tuesday 28th June in support of frontline legal advice services.
Their team is: Katy Dower, Lorraine Hegerty, Sabine Paul-Pettiniccho, Trine Jensen, Kimberly Corderoy, Marguerite Perin, Svjetlana Zarubica, and Kevin Harrison.
They are walking with the Lord Chief Justice and thousands of lawyers to raise funds for the London Legal Support Trust which funds Law Centers and pro bono agencies in and around London.
Here is what they have said about the importance of the London Legal Walk:
“Two-thirds of the UK population don’t know how to get legal advice and 14 million people who live in poverty can’t afford to pay for it. The London Legal Walk raises vital funds to ensure access to justice for some of our communities’ most poor and vulnerable people.
Your support is needed now more than ever with the long-term challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Reduced funding in the charity sector means advice agencies are doing all they can to meet rising need despite a drastically restricted income.
The event supports over 100 legal advice agencies in London and the South East. We know that these agencies do a fantastic job in preventing homelessness, resolving debt problems, gaining care for the elderly, fighting discrimination and exploitation.
Please sponsor our walkers as generously as you are able.
Many thanks for your support.”
Well done to the ebl miller rosenfalck team and for all those who participated in the walk.
