Our services are free, non-discriminatory and confidential

Our services

We provide specialist advice on a range of areas of general (civil) law.

We aim to provide access to justice and equality, and particularly target our services at disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. This includes, for example, those living in poverty, with long term physical and/or mental ill-health, physical and sensory disabilities and/or learning difficulties, offenders, ex-offenders, migrant workers and others who are disadvantaged.

Interpreters for all our services are available by arrangement.
