6th September 2021

On Friday 10 September, the Lee & Thompson team will be donning hiking boots and trekking over 30km in one day to raise funds for the James Walker Legacy Award, our Charity of the Year.

In September 2019 we lost our much-loved friend and colleague, James Walker, who passed away aged just 38. With the support of James’ family, we established the “James Walker Legacy Award” in 2020 together with the NFTS to commemorate James and create a lasting legacy in his name. The Award provides financial support and mentorship to aspiring screenwriters and producers once they have graduated from the NFTS.

This group of 29 will be attempting a lengthy trek along the South Downs, gaining 750m in height. For most of us, it will be an arduous feat unlike anything we have attempted before. We’re hoping for gorgeous early Autumn sunshine rather than a blustery September day!

By sponsoring the L&T trekking group, you will be supporting a worthy cause in memory of a wonderful person.   Our experiences will been captured this weekend – watch this space! ​​​​​​​ We’ve set ourselves an ambitious fundraising target to support the James Walker Legacy Award over the coming year.  If you want to support or learn more about the Award, click here.
