Harrow Law Centre
My Story
Thank you for supporting our team in fundraising for the 2026 London Legal Walk. We will be taking on 10km on Tuesday 9 June to help those in need gain access to life-changing free legal advice.
Our team is: Pamela Fitzpatrick, Emily Coatman, Beth Shannon, Anne Whitehead, Sue Davis, Eileen Bye, Anna Jones, Jackson Caines, Florence Cole, Olivia McGrady, Masi Bashardust, Lynsey Dalton, Lea Lehouk, Art Badivuku, Mike Norman
We will be walking to raise money for Harrow Law Centre.
Many people across the UK cannot afford legal help and are at risk of going without justice when they need it most. One fifth (21%) of the UK population live in poverty - equivalent to around 14 million people.
By taking part in this walk our team is raising funds for the London Legal Support Trust, who are organising the event. The Trust have pledged to donate 100% of the funds we raise, so every pound you donate in support will mean a pound going to Harrow Law Centre.
Harrow Law Centre opened on 12 April 2010 and came about as a result of individuals within the community taking it upon themselves to establish a Legal Charity to provide high quality legal advice and representation. The impetus was a reaction from the community against what was seen as the injustice that many in the community have in accessing specialist legal services.
The model chosen was a dynamic, not for profit organisation that would operate reactively by providing advice, and proactively through education, social policy/influencing and test case litigation. It is a model that the private sector is unable to replicate as many of the functions are non-profit making. It is also better able to undertake these roles as it is rooted within the community and accountable to it. We draw on and channel the additional support and enthusiasm offered by many individuals and organisation across Harrow.
Every step we take and every penny we raise brings us closer to a community where justice and support are accessible to all.
Please sponsor our walkers as generously as you are able.
Many thanks for your support.
