LawWorks Cymru. Legal advice for individual & community groups

LawWorks Cymru, recently established a project located in Wales that is part of LawWorks: the solicitors pro bono charity.  LawWorks facilitates the provision of pro bono (free) legal advice, from our legal professional members and stakeholders direct to individuals and community groups.

LawWorks Cymru
Naomi Morris and Joanna Bogacz are the project officers for LawWorks Cymru in Cardiff, Wales.  We are currently contacting all stakeholders to introduce the project and to seek suggestions of Third Sector Organisations, who will be able to inform us and benefit from the services we are currently developing.  Details of the LawWorks Cymru project are attached in an information leaflet [see attached] and can be accessed online . 


LawWorks Cymru stakeholders will include all Third Sector Organisations.  At this stage we are hoping to especially reach organisations that have direct links to service users (the LawWorks Cymru beneficiaries) and organisations seeking to provide or establish legal advice clinics/ organisations already providing advice clinics.  In addition, we are working with The Disability Law Service to facilitate access to advice for disabled individuals, so we also trying to reach any organisations who work with disabled stakeholders.  

Our links with the Third Sector & WCVA
The WCVA is a member of our Steering Group and has provided us with all County Voluntary Councils and Volunteer Centres contact details.  We have recently exhibited at the WCVA Charity Law Conference and details of this project and LawWorks other services have been circulated amongst some of the WCVA members.


Kind regards,

Joanna
