Bristol Law Centre

Bristol Law Centre is a charity providing free legal advice in specialist areas of social welfare law, and also represents clients in court. We help over 1,500 people a year access the justice system thanks to our funders, sponsors and committed staff and volunteers. We help more than 5,000 enquirers, offer legal education and training, and work on our own and with partners to push for changes to public policy that promote equality and justice. We prevent poverty, keep people in jobs and homes, reinstate benefits, keep families together, give people independence and dignity. We enable people to understand their rights and challenge decisions. We work to influence policy (read more about our success in achieving changes to PIP assessment guidance).
