London Legal Support Trust
The London Legal Support Trust (LLST) raises funds, mostly from the legal profession, to support free legal advice centres (Law Centres and similar agencies)in London and the South East as well as helping them to improve and become more sustainable. We hold a number of large scale fundraising events throughout the year, with our main event being the London Legal Walk.
Description
On Tuesday 18th June 2.30-9pm, the London Legal Support Trust (LLST) will host the London Legal Walk for a very special 20th time, bringing the legal community together to commemorate this anniversary and raise funds for free legal advice agencies across London and the South East.
Last year, over 16,000+ legal professionals from over 900 organisations took on the challenge. To make this event a success, we are on the look-out for 1 day event marshals to join one of the largest single day fundraising events in the country and add value to the thousands of event attendees.
The event is attended by high ranking judiciary, the President of the Law Society, the Lady Chief Justice and hundreds of London's top law firms.
We will provide:
- Lunch/snacks on the day for you to take with you
- Information packs with everything you need to know about your role and responsibilities
- A full brief on the day so you are super confident to do your role
- Always buddied up with somebody else on a station.
What to bring:
- We recommend bringing hats, sun cream, and plenty of water. We also suggest you bring layers for the evening as it may still to get cold in the evening.
- Wear clothes you will be comfortable in especially comfortable shoes like trainers
- Feel free to bring your own food. You will have plenty of opportunities to go and grab something if you need (although food packs are provided by LLST)
Additional comments:
- No skills or qualifications necessary, we just ask that you are dedicated, energetic and willing to help. This day would not be possible without the help of our brilliant marshals.
- All marshals have access to the street party post shift to enjoy the atmosphere with thousands of others.
- Shorter shifts available upon request.
Duties
- The ultimate aim is to ensure the event runs smoothly and the attendees are having a good time and feel like a valuable part of the event.
- You will be positioned at a “cheer point” along the 10km route where it will be your role to cheer and motivate walkers and offer support and encouragement as they go past. Your presence alone is enough to motivate thousands across the line, and ultimately raise as many funds as possible through a positive event experience. Regular email contact and a full brief in are provided so you are fully confident of supporting this event.
- Answer any questions walkers may have (you will be provided with an information pack about your point on the route).
- Other event stewards will support us in our cloakrooms and at the street party finish line on Carey Street.
- Enjoy the street party after your slot!
Who will the volunteers be working with?
Each volunteer will be buddied up with another volunteer so you are never alone.
You will have constant access to the volunteer lead with their mobile number on the information pack provided on the day of the event.
