South West London Law Centres
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: Chofian Abobakr, Jeinsen, Bhavna, Rhi Hughes, Tom Chapman, Armaan, Sunitha Roussel-Milner, Laura Black, Patrick Marples, Marc Jerome, Andrew, Yusra, Ashshan, Kulsoom, Simon, Nimmisha, James Waugh, Jessica Otu, Rajitha Kumar, Will and Mharni Stephen.
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 for them, so every pound you donate in support will mean a pound going to South West London Law Centres.
South West London Law Centres is one of the largest Law Centres in the UK and a registered charity. For the last 50 years we have been providing advice and legal representation to local people who are without the means to pay for it. With the support of a network of over 400 pro bono lawyer volunteers and 40 members of staff, we work in the communities we serve, to alleviate poverty, speak for the most vulnerable and create a fairer society for all.
More than ever, families and individuals need our help. Problems are complex, often not confined to a single area of law. Civil legal aid fees have not been increased for 28 years. Providers of legal aid have decreased by 59% over the last 10 years, drastically reducing access to justice for the poorest members of society. Law Centres all over the country have been closing due to lack of funding, but they have never been so needed.
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.
