About the event

The Reading Legal Walk is a 10km sponsored evening walk from Reading town centre to Thames Valley Park that raises funds to provide free legal advice in Reading.

You will be walking shoulder to shoulder with fellow members of  Reading’s legal community. Judges, law firms, barristers’ chambers, advice agencies, in-house legal departments, and university law groups will walk in unison before enjoying a refreshing drinks reception.

All funds raised go directly to organisations in Reading and the Thames Valley who provide free legal advice, including Launchpad.

You do not have to be associated with the legal profession to take part in Reading Legal Walk, you can come and join our #TeamLaunchpad or sponsor our team.

You can find more information about Reading Legal Walk on Facebook or Twitter

Fundraising

We would love you to help us by fundraising as part of taking on Reading Legal Walk.

Do check if your company offers match funding for charity events – every little bit really does help Launchpad to make a difference.

Our fundraising team will provide you with instructions on how to set up a JustGiving page so your friends, family and colleagues can support you with your challenge.

How do we support members of Team Launchpad?

We will support you every step of the way – we offer tips on training and lots of fundraising materials, and you’ll get an exclusive Launchpad technical t-shirt and goodies for taking part.

How will your fundraising help Launchpad?

Day in, day out, Launchpad helps people, couples and families like you in Reading who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes – and only with your kind support can we continue this vital work. The cost of living crisis continues to leave homeless people extremely vulnerable, and we are already seeing many more in housing crisis. Every penny you raise when you take on this challenge helps us prevent homelessness in our town.
