London Legal Walk

Sponsor us to support free access to justice

On Tuesday 13th June 2023, Z2K staff, volunteers and supporters will participate in the London Legal Support Trust’s (LLST) London Legal Walk – a disability friendly 10K walk through Central London to raise money for free legal advice organisations like Z2K.

Ending with a street party with loads of food and music, the event brings together over 10,000 walkers including judiciary members, barristers, students, advice agencies, and solicitors to walk in support of frontline free legal advice services.

Why do we walk?

At Z2K we have an 85% success rate for tribunal appeals but the figure is much lower for those not fortunate enough to have representation.

By offering these services for free, we’re able to give more people the opportunity to access justice.

All funds raised through our page will be donated to Z2K (via the LLST) and we’ll also receive a grant from LLST from the event’s fundraised income, so your support can make a huge difference! 

If you’re able, please consider sponsoring our efforts by clicking here.

ASICS 10K

#10KforZ2K

We’re calling on you to fundraise for Z2K in the 2023 ASICS 10K on Sunday 9th July 2023!

On this flat, wheelchair and disability-friendly route through Central London, you’ll pass some of London’s most iconic landmarks venturing alongside the River Thames, over Westminster Bridge and by Big Ben.

And to keep you going throughout the race, you’ll be met with music every 450m ranging from reggae/funk to disco!

Register your interest now to be one of our five fitness fundraisers! We ask everyone to commit to a £250 fundraising target to help us continue to be a lifeline for individuals in London on low incomes struggling to access the support they’re entitled to. Z2K spends 94p in every £1 on charitable activities, meaning your contributions directly impact clients in need of support.

If you’ve already got your own place and you would like to fundraise for Z2K, just click the button to register your interest and fill in your details. We’d love you to be part of team Z2K!

If you’re ready to take on the challenge and fundraise at least £250 for Z2K, register your interest now! We are 100% reliant on fundraising to ensure we can sustain our services and campaigning activities so if you would like to fundraise on behalf of Z2K, why not ask your organisation if they’ll match fund (aka double) your contributions? It’s a great way to make your fundraising efforts have the biggest impact!

Registration for this event has now closed, thank you for your support.

1 in 5 people in the UK lives in poverty, and 90% of low-income households receiving Universal Credit are now going without essentials. 

The rising cost of living is affecting us all, but it isn’t felt equally. More and more people are facing poverty and destitution and are in urgent need of our support. We help the most marginalised Londoners secure their welfare rights and entitlements so they can live stable and dignified lives.

In 2022 our caseworkers provided in-depth advice, representation, and advocacy to 1038 people. See our full impact in 2022 here.

“Before I met my caseworker, I had no idea about welfare benefits or how they were applied to people like me. I was living on pennies trying to scrape by. A chance call to Z2K has transformed my entire life... I now feel I have a future in society.”
