Our aim is to support each other through running and create a safe space to talk.

Sometimes running by itself is not enough. Help and support is available for the legal community.

 

The partnership between Legal Runner and LawCare, the mental health charity for the legal sector, underscores our shared goals to improve mental and physical health and foster  a healthier, inclusive and supportive legal community.   

LawCare is the mental health charity for the legal sector, offering free, confidential emotional support, peer support, and information to people working in law in the UK, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. LawCare also advocates for improvements in mental health practices within legal workplaces, and actively leads cultural transformation through education, training, and research.

LawCare has been supporting legal professionals for over 25 years, providing a safe and confidential space to talk, without judgement, whether you’re just having a bad day or facing something more longer lasting. All of LawCare’s helpline volunteers and staff have experience in the legal sector and understand the particular pressures that you may face. You can talk to LawCare about issues at work or at home.

LawCare offers emotional support to every branch of the legal profession, including barristers, solicitors, and business and support staff. Whether you are a HR manager in a legal firm feeling burnt out, a young trainee facing bullying, an experienced partner worried about a mistake, or a senior lawyer feeling sidelined, LawCare is there to listen and help.

If you need support, call LawCare’s helpline on 0800 279 6888, send an email to support@lawcare.org.uk or visit LawCare’s website to use the live online chat. LawCare’s website also has lots of information (articles, stories, videos, blogs and podcasts) on mental health and wellbeing – www.lawcare.org.uk

The Solicitors’ Charity – helping you stay on track, even when life knocks you off course

 

A career in law can sometimes feel like a marathon not a park run. Some days you’re flying. Other days, it’s hard to put one foot in front of the other.

The Solicitors’ Charity understands the unique pressures solicitors face – and it’s here keeping pace with your needs. Whether you’re dealing with unexpected illness, money worries, career hurdles or simply running low emotionally, they can help you get back on track.

They have been supporting solicitors and their dependants in England and Wales since 1858. Today, that support is more personal than ever – from confidential emotional and physical wellbeing help to financial assistance and professional career coaching.

No judgement. No pressure. Just practical, compassionate support to help you move forward with confidence.

‘At LawCare we know the valuable role of physical activity in managing mental health, especially in the legal sector, known for its long hours, high stress, and sedentary lifestyle. We are delighted to be supporting LegalRunner and championing the power of movement and exercise—not just as a means to improve physical health, but as essential tools to reduce stress, improve mood, enhance sleep, and sharpen focus.’
