Legal Advice Project

The project offers welfare, legal and immigration advice targeting people living in poverty.  Poverty is more than just low income and material deprivation; it affects the everyday experiences, impacting on health, educational attainment, and motivation.

Lack of awareness of in-work financial support available through benefits and tax credits can be a barrier to parents entering and sustaining employment. Employment is the best route out of poverty and so it is important that people are aware of, and taking up, in-work financial support.

The project is funded by the local authority and is delivered in partnership with the Legal Advice Centre and Bow Bengali Forum.
