CILEX team join London Legal Walk

In June, a CILEX team joined over 18,500 other walkers from across the legal profession for the London Legal Walk. The annual 10km charity walk, organised by the London Legal Support Trust, raises money to provide access to justice for vulnerable people.

A number of CILEX’s walking team walked double the distance, covering both walking routes – the London parks route in the morning and riverside route in the afternoon.

They have so far raised over £1,000 to support frontline, free legal advice agencies, matched by CILEX to bring the total to £2,000.

CILEX immediate past president Emma Davies, one of the team who walked both routes, fundraised for the CILEX Foundation, collecting donations to support CILEX members and students, helping to address inequality and under-representation in the legal sector.

Well done to Emma, CILEX President Yanthé Richardson, CILEX CEO Craig Hamer and the rest of the CILEX team – Helen Gilmore, Patrick Cullen, Helen Newson, Zsofia Kiss, Kian Hearnshaw, Elizabeth Grubb, Claire Tilley, Simon Cohl, Phil Manning, Mohammed Hussain, Judith Bourne, Matthew Huggett and Ian Hunt.
