  • JOIN US FOR THE LONDON LEGAL WALK
    Tue, 02/05/2013 - 17:16

    Every year the London Legal Walk attracts over 6000 walkers from barristers' chambers, solicitors firms, Courts, Tribunals and other legal organisations.

    The Walk sets off from 5.00 onwards and is a 10k walk through the lovelist parts of London, through legal London and the Royal Parks.  The Walk is supported by the Senior Judiciary and senior lawyers and raises over £350,000 for legal charities in London that are facing difficult times.  FRU receives over £25,000 from the Walk from Barristers and Chambers that walk in support of FRU and the Bar Pro Bono Unit.  So please join us and support FRU.  You can walk for FRU or donate to us at FRU's Virgin Giving page.  Over 70 Chambers have registered.  If your chambers haven't registered yet and you want to take part, please contact FRU's Chief Executive on chief.exec@thefru.org.uk
