The London Legal Support Trust supports the work of social welfare legal centres in London and the Home Counties. Funds raised are targeted to assist requests for help from the centres. This financial aid helps the legal centres overcome funding crises, develop new services, support appeals and improve their premises.

Story

Release currently provides free legal services to 1500 people a year at drug projects located in the area. Please help us to reach even more people in need of this vital service in 2010/11.

On the 20th & 21st February 2010 Release staff will be walking the 40 mile route from the Thames Barrier to .

All proceeds will go towards launching more pilot legal surgeries to assist individuals with drug problems. Those accessing the service will receive legal support and advice relating to criminal matters; homelessness; housing; benefits and debt.

This unique service reaches people who are often vulnerable, marginalised and whose human rights are the first to be abused. The legal staff providing this service aim to resolve the issues the clients face.

The increase in such services is needed more than ever and the fact that funding will be matched by the Linbury Trust means that there is no better time to dig deep.  For every £1 you raised, the Linbury Trust will donate another £2, making your money go even further.
