Law Society Charity, The
This charitable fund was established in 1974, independent and in close collaboration with The Law Society (TLS), making grant awards to a wide range of organisations with a view to further law and justice. The Charity supports organisations whose work is related to the law and legal profession; and whose activities would likely benefit from funds made available on behalf of solicitors.
Access to Justice Foundation, The
Every year across the UK, millions of people need legal advice. They are families at risk of eviction and homelessness, disabled people navigating complex welfare systems, or workers challenging discrimination from an employer. But they won’t get the support they need - because they can’t afford it or they don’t know where to turn. Good advice at the right moment is the crucial difference.
Angel Advocates
Angel Advocates is a Christian charity offering independent and legal advocacy when needed. Our purpose is to empower and enable all our clients to tell their truths to power. We want all our clients to have an Angel with them when they face life’s challenges, from the classroom to the courtroom. We know that having someone in your corner, just for you, with no agenda other than making sure your views are heard, has the power to change lives.
LawCare
LawCare is the mental health charity for the legal sector. We provide free, confidential support, peer support, and information to anyone working in law across the UK, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man. We also work to improve mental health practices in legal workplaces through education, training, and research. Whether you’re having a tough day or dealing with a bigger challenge, LawCare’s helpline is a safe, non-judgemental space to talk.
LawWorks
LawWorks (the operating name for the Solicitors Pro Bono Group) is a charity working to enable access to justice through connecting people to free legal advice. Covid-19 has already had a significant impact on the vulnerable groups and communities supported by clinics on the LawWorks network, our members and volunteers. Many people will suffer from loss of employment, difficulty accessing benefits, housing issues, and domestic abuse, and these issues are likely to continue long after the immediate crisis is over.
South West London Law Centres
South West London Law Centres is a local independent charity which delivers legal services in Croydon, Merton, Wandsworth, Richmond, Kingston and Sutton and the surrounding area, including in parts of Surrey. Our mission is to fight injustice, inequality, and poverty by ensuring those in our communities understand their legal rights and can access the legal advice, representation and support they need to enforce them.
Support Through Court
Every year, thousands of people in the UK face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, they must represent themselves at a moment that could determine the rest of their life. We stand with those who have nowhere else to turn. We provide a free service across England and Wales, offering support and guidance before, during, and after court.
The Solicitors’ Charity
The Solicitors’ Charity provides comprehensive support to improve the wellbeing of solicitors, helping them to overcome life’s challenges. People contact us for all sorts of reasons - because of struggles with finances, ill health, disability, and anxiety, often caused by work-related stress or life-connected trauma.
