It was a fantastic sunny day on Monday 25 April for 65 members of the legal profession who embarked on a 10 km challenge and raised funds to support access to justice in Preston. The route took in the lovely sights the city has to offer, including the less well known parts of the city, and the weather was light and breezy, a perfect spring day to walk and raise money for a vital cause.
 
We had a grand total of 4 teams signed up with the biggest team on the day coming from University of Central Lancashire Law School!
 
A big congratulations goes out to Harrison Drury, who topped the fundraising table having raised under £600! This is a huge achievement and we are very grateful to our team who pulled out all the stops to raise as much money as possible to support access to justice.
 
We walk to raise money for charities, such as the PSU which has recently started a branch in Preston, which are often the last resort for people facing difficult and distressing legal circumstances and find themselves unable to pay for private legal advice. The funds raised by the Preston Legal Walk, and the NWLST as a whole, will go to support these charities and more, throughout the region helping thousands of people every year navigate the complicated legal system.

This event was supported by our generous sponsor, the University of Central Lancashire, who sponsored the welcoming finish line reception. It was a perfect end to a great walk and the drinks were very well received by our thirsty walkers. 

The Preston Legal Walk was the first of its kind, raising over £1,080 so far. This is an excellent result for the first year, and we strive to beat this next year. Without your contribution the Preston Legal Walk and the work of the NWLST would not be possible.
 
Please continue to fundraise and ensure that we can help more vital services than ever before.
