The annual event is part of a UK-wide program of over 20 walks carried out during the summer or early autumn months. They come at a critical time as legal services are under increasing pressure and frontline advice organisations experience constant surges in demand.

This year, 26 people joined in for Robert Gordon University’s (RGU) 5km Aberdeen walk, raising a total of £475.

The Access to Justice Foundation was established in 2008 and commits to promoting access to justice for the most vulnerable individuals and communities. It works with a network of supporters and organisations to fund free legal advice by providing grants to frontline legal advice services and charities.

The Grampian Community Law Centre operates from RGU and provides students with expertise and work experience as it assists with the needs of clients.
