Community Legal Advice Centres & Networks

Community Legal Advice Centres and Networks

We work with local authorities to deliver joined up advice services through joint commissioning. An integrated service enables clients to access a full range of legal aid services in one place, rather than going to several different advisers for different problems.

Working with the relevant local authorities we have developed and opened Community Legal Advice services in the following areas.

• Gateshead
• Leicester
• Derby
• Hull
• East Riding of Yorkshire
• West Sussex
• Barking and Dagenham
• Wakefield
• Manchester

Housing Possession Court Duty Schemes

The LSC funds Housing Possession Court Duty Schemes (HPCDS) throughout England and Wales to provide on-the-day emergency advice and advocacy to anyone facing possession proceedings.

The schemes allow anyone in danger of eviction or having property repossessed to get free legal advice and representation on the day of their hearing, regardless of their financial circumstances.
A list of courts currently covered by LSC funded schemes is available in the documents panel.
