Walk the Thames 2012

Walk the Thames will be held on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th February 2012 with participants walking 20 miles each day (40 miles for those that brave both!) to raise funds for London's legal advice charities.

As in previous years Lord Phillips will be leading the walk and will do the full 40 miles - are you ready for the challenge and would you join him?

The route takes walkers from Canary Wharf (with an early morning reception kindly hosted by Clifford Chance) to Putney in Day 1 and then from Putney to Hampton Court on Day 2.

Funds are raised for legal advice centres in and around London

There is no entry fee- we just ask people to raise as much as they can through sponsorship.

There is no minimum size for a team. Last year teams ranged from a couple of people to well over 100.

Join in as an individual. Many people with no team to join enter. They form the LLST’s “team”

Organise a team - In 2011 around 25 law firms and chambers took part alongside 16 advice agencies and university teams and we are hoping to increase those numbers in 2012. A number of those from 2011 are already committed to taking part this year but we would love it if more of you contacted us to get involved - email bob@llst.org.uk or natalia@llst.org.uk for more information or to sign up.

We will then send you back all the information you need and get you registered.

It’s as easy as that.

Walk the Thames is this year kindly sponsored by both BPP Law School and Jordan Publishing (who have provided a message below.

Jordan Publishing are proud to sponsor Walk the Thames 2012, in support of those walking 20 or 40 miles in darkest February, to raise funds for London's legal advice charities.

With reductions in legal aid rates and the proposed cuts to the scope of public funding in areas such as family and social welfare, they understand that the work of organisations providing free legal advice to the most vulnerable members of society is more important than ever.

Jordan Publishing offer an extensive range of titles, including authoritative works of reference, law reports, journals, loose-leafs and textbooks, many of which are available for use in either hard copy or online format to suit your requirements. They also offer CPD accredited conferences, seminars and online training.
