Guildford Legal Walk 2026 – 1 July 2026

Going for a walk in the picturesque Surrey countryside is a rather pleasant way to spend a sunny summer’s evening. When the walk is then also in aid of a good cause, the walk is not only pleasant but hugely worthwhile too.

Yesterday evening, the Mayor of Guildford – Councillor Jane Tyson – and I joined a large group of legal professionals on a beautiful fundraising walk, which led us over Pewley Down and along the River Wey. The walk was organised by DJ Lynda Nightingale from the Guildford Family and County Court and the London Legal Support Trust (LLTS) to raise funds in aid of providing vulnerable people in London and the South East with access to justice.

Demand for legal advice services has risen dramatically over the past year. The rising cost of living has heaped immense pressure on legal advice charities who are struggling to cope with such unprecedented demand. It is important that people should be able to receive legal advice when they need it most.

The LLST supports charities that deliver such essential free legal advice on issues such as homelessness, domestic violence, employment and provision of care. By providing grants, supporting sector infrastructure, and helping legal advice agencies reduce costs and save money via pro bono or discounted schemes, the LLST ensures that these charities can continue to help people in difficult circumstances.
