Supporting London's East End community since 1975. We believe nobody should be excluded from legal representation just because they are poor, vulnerable or lack education.
Our public education project RISE is in full swing! We have we also started receiving deliveries of food ingredients from a local producer, so people who attend our sessions can take away free ingredients to cook at home. #AccesstoJustice
