The Gray’s Inn team is lacing up their trainers and getting ready for the London Legal Walk 2026! 👟We've raised over £750 so far, and our Chief of Staff, Sam Hutchinson, promised to walk this year in his French Napoleonic uniform. Let's push the donations further!

We're proud to be joining thousands from across the legal community to raise funds for free legal advice services and help ensure access to justice for those who need it most.

If you'd like to support our team, any donation would be appreciated.
