Advicenow increase access to justice by helping people to deal with life's legal problems
What we do How we work NewsWhat we do
We equip individuals and communities to deal with life’s legal problems. We do this by providing legal support including information, legal self-help tools, and training to help people use the law.
We research what works, and collaborate with others to challenge systemic problems through policy and campaigns work.
We used to be known as Law for Life.
How we work
We are a UK based not-for-profit organisation and charity. Collaboration and partnership lies at the heart of what we do so that people can access their rights, challenge unfair decisions, and fight for change.
