The team at Canterbury Housing Advice Centre (CHAC) will be taking to the streets on Tuesday 13 June for this year’s 10km London Legal Walk. We’ll be raising funds for CHAC, one of many front line free advice agencies being supported by the annual event.
CHAC provides free, confidential and independent advice on housing matters in the Canterbury District with the aim of preventing homelessness.
Our team so far includes: Chloe McDonald, Viv Gambling, John Wightman and Nick Jackson. Ex-Chair Nick Piska has regrettably had to pull out but we’re hoping to be walking alongside colleagues from Canterbury Housing Outreach. Do join us if you can!
We will also be walking with the Lord Chief Justice and thousands of lawyers - the London Legal Walk is the biggest fundraising event in aid of free legal advice and support for everything from Law Centres and Citizens Advice services to refugee specialist support services.
Over 13.4 million people live in poverty in the UK and advice providers are at breaking point with the growing need from their clients. Many people cannot afford legal help and we believe everybody should be able to receive legal advice when they need it most.
The London Legal Walk raises vital funds to ensure that legal help reaches our community's most vulnerable people. Receiving good legal advice at the right time can make a huge difference to people's lives reducing their chances of facing debt, poverty, homelessness, exploitation and discrimination.
The event supports over 100 legal advice agencies in London and the South East. We know that these agencies do a fantastic job in changing people's lives.
Your support is needed more than ever. Please sponsor our walkers as generously as you are able: Donate online via our page on the the London Legal Walk 2023 website
