My Story
We are proud to join the York Legal Walk 2022 to raise money for the Access to Justice Foundation Yorkshire. The Foundation supports communities excluded from accessing justice by increasing the availability of vital free legal advice through grant making to the local charities that provide it.
These communities often experience multiple disadvantages and are in crisis, requiring many kinds of support. The Access to Justice Foundation uses specialist expertise to work strategically across the UK to target and divert funds to those most in need and at risk. This funds interventions which break these cycles and improve peoples lives.
This means thousands of people across the country are diverted from crisis and keep a roof over their head, remain in paid employment, avoid mental health crisis, and experience positive life changes.
We invite supporters of access to justice to take part in our walk, or a walk in their local area, and be a part of this crucial work.
Our walkers are: Phil Paxton, Charlotte Leighton, Michael Cahill, Helen Scourfield & Jessica Barrowman.
The money raised will allow the Access to Justice Foundation to continue supporting free legal advice charities to survive, thrive and continue improving lives.
Please support our walkers as generously as you can.
