Who we help

All of our services are free. We prioritise people who would not otherwise be able to access legal advice and representation.

Unfortunately our services are in high demand. Sometimes we cannot help everyone who needs it. If this is the case, we will always signpost you to other sources of help. We may be able to provide you with some initial advice to help you take the steps you need to solve your problem.

We are a charity, this means the services we can offer depends on the funding we receive. Some of our services are only for people living in a property with a Coventry postcode.

For some services we need to apply to the legal aid agency for funding. In this case, we will ask you to provide evidence of your income and personal situation before we take your case on. If you are in receipt of Universal Credit and/or other benefits or on a low income it is likely that you will be eligible for legal aid funding. We will assess your eligibility when you contact us but more information about the criteria is available here.
