“When I first contacted you it was like someone turned on a light for me

Every day we help people in Coventry and Birmingham to know their legal rights and have them upheld. We change their lives and change society to make it fairer for all.

Getting your disability related welfare benefits reinstated, clearing your debts so you can start again, staying in your home when you have been threatened with eviction. Securing leave to remain in the UK for you and your family. Getting a non-molestation order to protect you from your violent partner, having your voice heard in care proceedings so that your child will be placed within your family and getting the right care package for your disabled child.

This is the power of legal advice and representation. In partnership, our work increases early action, prevents homelesness, gives people a voice, empowers women and helps tackle poverty.

    Our history

    The national Law Centre movement was started in the 1970s by radical lawyers who were disappointed in the failure of the welfare state to eradicate poverty and deliver a more equal society. Coventry Law Centre was founded in 1976 by four Councillors: Tom McLatchie, Gilbert Richards, Arthur Waugh Senior and Charles Ward. Coventry City Council has been a key supporter of our work ever since.
