St. Hilda’s East benefits from valuable partnerships with a number of national law firms. Together we provide legal advice clinics at both Sonali Gardens Centre and our Club Row site.
This is a well-used and much needed resource for the local community, that runs alongside St. Hilda’s East’s Daytime Advice Service. The Legal Advice Service is delivered on a pro bono basis by law firm staff who volunteer weekly.
Legal advice is provided around issues such as housing matters, welfare benefits, consumer problems and employment.
The legal advice clinics cannot help with immigration, family, crime or debt matters. We not able to take on case work, and do not represent clients at tribunals or at court.
