ALSTERS KELLEY SOLICITORS 10 MILE WALK 26/06/21

(JustGiving Link shown below).

Alsters Kelley Solicitors have this year selected a number of local charities to support. One charity in particular we wanted to help raise funds and raise awareness for, is local charity Coventry Haven’s Woman’s Aid. Coventry Haven is an organisation committed to providing services for women experiencing any form of domestic violence and abuse, whilst also offering refuge alongside emotional and practical support.

AK members have decided to get our walking shoes on for a sponsored walk this year. The walk will be taking place on Saturday 26th June and will span 10 miles starting at our Coventry office and finishing at our Head Office in Leamington Spa.

If you are local and see us on the day, please cheer us on, we are going to need some support along the way!

As you will all agree a very worthy cause. Thanks for visiting the page and supporting.
