Donate to NCLS to help us provide access to justice for those that need it

Why you should help NCLS

Legal advice and access to justice can be needed unexpectedly, by anyone, at any time of life. With legal aid drastically cut, it can be challenging to find affordable legal help, particularly for vulnerable people. We are here to provide accessible help and support.

Donate today to support our work and help people access fair and equal legal support.

Leave a gift in your will  

Across the third sector, about a third of all income comes from gifts in wills. Any amount that is given to a charity in a will can help to make a real difference in their ongoing work.

Fundraise for us

From quiz nights to plant sales — would you be prepared to raise vital funds for NCLS?

Join our supporters group

As well as contributing financially, the supporters of NCLS help raise funds for the organisation and promote its aims through organising special events throughout the year. If you could spare a little time to help, please email us at sarah@ncls.co.uk.

The service and help given to me at the moment of need was really reassuring and got me relieved of my worries. It made me feel belonged and in a community where people are valued.

Where your money goes

Last year we helped over 4,000 clients. But as demand for our services continues to grow, we need your help to ensure that no one is left without access to justice.

NCLS has been providing legal support for 40 years, and we want to continue to do so far into the future.
