Each year we are supported by over 150 volunteers in general, welfare benefits and pro bono roles, increasing our capacity to support clients in accessing justice by over 10,000 hours a year. We make a difference to our volunteers too – read their stories.
“I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the invaluable legal advice and support you provided during my recent discrimination case against my former employer. Your willingness to offer expertise on a free basis made a profound difference during an incredibly challenging time in my life.
When I faced discrimination in the workplace, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about my rights. Your clear, compassionate guidance not only clarified the legal landscape but also gave me the confidence to navigate the process with dignity. The time you took to review my documents, and give advice on my next steps, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and genuine consideration for my wellbeing.
Knowing that someone of your calibre was willing to help (without payment) reaffirmed my faith in justice and in the legal profession. Your commitment to fairness and equity extends far beyond your practice; it has a lasting impact on individuals like myself.
Though my case has been resolved the support you provided was pivotal. Thank you for using your skills to uplift those in need and for making the law accessible to me when I needed it most.”
