What are Community Legal Service grants?

The CLS grants budget has allowed the LSC to consider ad hoc funding proposals from a variety of organisations. We can award funding to projects and activities that do not necessarily provide direct advice solely to eligible clients.

The funding has been up to a maximum of £1 million per annum for three years.

Holders of Community Legal Service grants

Originally, nine grants were awarded although two of these have now expired. The remaining grants were awarde for three years from March 2008.

The nine grant holders were:

Advice Services Alliance

Law Centres Federation

Law Works

Royal Courts of Justice CAB

Connie & Albert Taylor Trust

Public Law Project

Matrix Chambers

Disability Law Service

Ben Hoare Bell.

The Government is currently consulting on proposals for the reform of legal aid, and the future of the scheme will need to be considered within the context of these proposals.
