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.
Get in touch as soon as you think you may have a problem – don’t wait until crisis hits. Early help means better outcomes with less stress. “SortItSooner”
