Our Legal Aid service

Our legal team may be able to help if you can get Legal Aid.

For example, if you need to go to court about a housing problem or to challenge a council’s homelessness decision.

We cannot take on every case, but we will support you if we can.

You need an appointment to speak to the legal team.

Call 0344 515 1212 between 10am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday if you would like to make an appointment. This number is for new legal appointments only.

Our address is:

88 Old Street
London
EC1V 9HU
