Event details

8th London Legal sponsored walk

21 May 2012

Led by the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Rolls, The Chairman of the Bar Council and the Presidents of the Law Society and ILEX the London Legal sponsored walk raises funds for London's legal advice centres. It is a 10km "after work" walk from the RCJ to Vauxhall Bridge along the Thames South Bank and back to the Law Society along the North Bank. We'd very much appreciate your help in beating the 2011 walk result when 5,000 walkers raised £497,000

Since April 2008, RAD has been funded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) Legal Grants Programme to provide legal advice and advocacy to D/deaf and hard of hearing people in England, Wales and Scotland. Between April 2008 and March 2011, RAD’s Legal Services (now DLC) team dealt with 479 enquiries and took on 228 cases on discrimination matters in the areas of employment, housing, education and goods, facilities and services. 
Altogether, over 700 individual D/deaf clients have benefited from this service, a phenomenal statistic.
Mainstream advice services are not able to meet the needs of D/deaf people. D/deaf people therefore rely on specialist legal advice services such as those provided by RAD DLC. By stopping the EHRC’s Grants Programme in March 2012, hundreds if not thousands of D/deaf individuals have been denied access to accessible legal advice on discrimination matters.
We have calculated that the approximate cost for RAD DLC to deal with one disability discrimination enquiry is £18.52. We need to raise this money as we do not currently receive any funding to provide this type of legal advice, and are unable to rely on central funds.

We would like to raise at least £1,000 in order to be able to give a total of 50 clients one-off advice on their disability discrimination issues. Obviously, the more we raise, the more clients we can advise.

RAD Deaf Law Centre is the first law centre to be established specifically aimed at D/deaf and D/deafblind people in England and Wales.

The work it does for people is brilliant and the funds for that work are really short.
