The Justice Committee's new report reinforces what Law Centres have long been saying: too many people are unable to get the legal assistance they need, with serious consequences for individuals, communities and public services. (1/2)

The report provides a clear roadmap for change. Now it's time for the new government to act. (2/2)

Law Centres use the law to change people's lives. ⚖️ Through our housing work, we often help individuals and families avoid homelessness and the feedback we get from these clients is always so poignant. A true picture of the positive impact we make on people's lives everyday. 😊 #AccessToJustice

Volunteers are the backbone of our organisation and provide invaluable assistance with our services, helping some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. 👨‍👧🧓🧑‍🦽 We celebrate all volunteers this week and every week for the enormous contribution they make to so many people's lives. 😍🙌👏

Beyond this week of action, people across the UK will keep showing up for their neighbours and their communities. Law Centres will be there, too, fighting your corner when you’ve got nowhere else to turn. We’re proud to be part of a #MillionActsOfHope.

Early legal advice works. 7 in 10 people who received government-backed early legal advice resolved their problems sooner and avoided going to court. Fewer problems escalate into more complex and costly interventions—with individuals, public services and the taxpayer all benefitting.

Government-backed early legal advice "helps clients avoid court"

A government-funded early legal advice grant programme has enabled 70% of clients to resolve their problems at an early stage and avoid unnecessary court hearings.

We joined a #MillionActsOfHope because we believe something simple: legal support is an act of hope. When someone walks into a Law Centre feeling powerless and leaves with their rights protected—that's hope, made real. This week, we're celebrating it. 💛

Every day, people walk through our door having had so many doors previously shut on their journey to us. By the time they leave, most people have a plan. Some of them have a lifeline. That door matters. We're glad it's open. 💛 #MillionActsOfHope @1mactsofhope

St Helens County Court has asked for an extra duty session to handle the volume of claims coming in. Courts are preparing for a surge. Are local authorities? Is the government?

That's what we're part of. That's why we're joining a #MillionActsOfHope

A Million Acts of Hope

In May 2026, community and faith groups, plus charities big and small, will come together to celebrate and inspire A Million Acts of Hope across Britain. There is far more that connects us than divide...

millionactsofhope.org

Hope looks different depending on who you are. For a family facing eviction, it's a solicitor who picks up the phone. For someone whose benefits have been stopped, it's an adviser who understands the system. For a worker who's been treated unfairly, it's knowing they don't have to face it alone.

The Renters’ Rights Act is a significant moment for private renters but whether it becomes a genuinely transformative one will depend on what happens next. Without #LegalAid, too many renters will be locked out of justice. More in our newsletter. 👉 us5.campaign-archive.com?u=0460307137...

📣 What's on this week 📣 📆 WEDNESDAY Housing Possession drop-in Liverpool Civil & Family Court 11am-1pm. Housing & Benefits drop-in Kuumba Imani 10am-12pm. 📆 THURSDAY Housing & Benefits drop-in Dovecot MAC 10am-12pm. 📆 FRIDAY Housing Possession drop-in Liverpool Civil & Family Court 11am-1pm.

The Renters' Rights Act came into force on Friday 1st May. It's a landmark moment. But new rights only mean something if people can enforce them. Without legal aid reform, the people who need these protections most will never be able to access them.

Our 65's and over Benefits Advice service in Liverpool and Knowsley helps older individuals improve their financial well-being, maintain independence and ease cost-of-living worries. 💷 Please do get in touch if you think you may benefit from this service. #pensioncredit #carersallowance

Being on the front line of the housing crisis in Liverpool, we are seeing a rise in Section 21 no fault evictions with the impending implementation of The #RentersRights Act. If you have received a Section 21 or any other notice seeking possession of your home, we can help. #RentersReform

Ending Section 21 matters. But what replaces it matters just as much. Law Centres will be watching closely how new grounds for eviction affect private renters after 1st May. (2/2)

'The court won’t take into account the fairness of it.' @ce-lawcentre.bsky.social's Hugh Wilkinson discussed the rise in no-fault evictions he is seeing ahead of Renters’ Rights Act changes. (1/2)

Because #accesstojustice only works if it works in practice.

What comes next: We’ll continue to work with regulators, government and partners to ensure this clarity is embedded in a way that supports high - quality, accessible legal services for all.

📢 A moment to celebrate! It’s been a good week for Law Centres, for the people we serve, and for access to justice. ⚖️ Today’s judgment in #Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys brings important clarity.

📣 Know Your Rights 📣 The 2 Child Benefit Cap will finally be lifted on 6th April, lifting approximately 450,000 families out of poverty. This will be life changing for so many families struggling today. #twochildcap #welfarebenefits
