IBA International Pro Bono

Walk the Thames 2010

Saturday February 20 - Sunday February 21 , 2010

This is a 40 mile* walk over 2 days on February 20th and 21st. So it is for serious walkers.

Teams and individuals will raise funds for London legal Support Trust or if from outide our area for their local Legal Support Trust to support local very hard pressed legal advice agencies.

The Trust will also allow nomination of a single eligible charity to benefit from half of a team's efforts (eligible = must be a legal advice charity such as a law centre or pro bono network such as lawworks ) if the team so wishes. The bulk of funds will go to the main pool to help agencies most in need.

Walkers funds supporting any of the other Legal Support Trusts in England or Wales will be fully passed to the relevant Trust by the London Legal Support Trust.

Firms, chambers and organisations able to field a team , however small, please provide the team leader's contact details as soon as possible.

Individuals wishing to walk in the Trust's own team are very very welcome.

Our main event remains the London Legal walk in May but for those who like walking and want to see a lot of London from an interesting angle Walk the Thames is a great event.

Kate Jump from Mayer Brown says:-

"Walk the Thames was my favourite weekend of 2009"
