  • Fundraising for our Walk the Thames Team 2017
    Fri, 09/29/2017 - 13:40

    FRU put together a team of Staff, including David Abbott, CEO of FRU, for the “Walk the Thames” event, organised by the London Legal Support Trust. Teams of walkers from across the legal profession raised money to support free legal advice services across London. 

    The money raised by our team will go directly to supporting the work of FRU.

    There is still time to support our teams effort. If you haven't done so already, please consider sponsoring them. The walk is 26 miles  on Saturday October 28th . It will most likely be cold and at least sometimes wet.

    Please consider sponsoring our team:

  • Walk the Thames for FRU 2017; Will you join us?

    Walk the Thames for FRU 2017; Will you join us?
    On Saturday 28th October FRU will be taking part in Walk the Thames.  We would love to beat last years efforts and have as many walkers as possible join our team and to help raise much needed funds.

    Walk the Thames is a half marathon or full marathon event which you can walk, run or cycle. It is a great opportunity to have a pleasant (but still challenging) walk along the banks of the Thames.  More information about the event can be found here.

    If you would like to join the FRU team, please send an email noting your interest and telling us if you are joining us for the half or full marathon.  We will send further information to walkers once they have registered with us.  Friends and family are also welcome to join the team.

    If you are unable to take part in the walk, please consider donating to our teams efforts.  FRU's online donation page can be found here. 

    We do hope that you can join us.
