We are experiencing extremely high demand for advice.
We have very long waiting lists for appointments and also a high number of active cases we are already working on. Clients may face a long wait to be contacted as we will only contact a client 2 weeks prior to an appointment being available to maximise appointment take up. We will continue to offer alternate sources of help. Please do not contact us to chase up a referral unless over 1 month has passed.
We cannot accept referrals for benefit entitlement checks (unless the client is unable to do this themselves or with the help of a friend / family member) we recommend the online resource https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/

Welcome to Community Law Service
Serving the people of Northamptonshire and surrounding counties, we are here to do all we can to help you keep your homes, access welfare benefits, manage and move out of debt, save energy, and live in a warm home.
Our specialist advisors will work with you for as long – or as little – as you need our help.
We provide face to face advice, at our offices as well as out in the community, on enquiries relating to Welfare Benefits, Debt, Housing, Energy, and Immigration matters.
Community Law Service is a charity and we are committed to doing all we can to help people take control of their lives and realise their rights – very often when life is at its most challenging.
