A not-for-profit law centre in London opened last week, the day after wide-ranging civil legal aid cuts came into force. Ealing Law Centre will provide specialist housing and immigration support.
A small group of volunteers (pictured) has built up the centre since October 2011 with support from the London Legal Support Trust, enabling it to gain a legal aid contract and other funding.

Lawyers were also worried that opening an investigation might be ‘exploited’ by victims.
Shadow lord chancellor sets out ideas - but cannot promise more money for legal aid.
