Important Notice: Temporary Service Pause
Due to high demand, our service is currently at capacity. As a result, we are temporarily closed to new inquiries. We understand the urgency of your situation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Please check back in 3 weeks’ time for updates on our service availability.
We are dedicated to supporting people who have left their home in search of a better, safer life. Our team of experts provide advice and assistance to help you navigate the complex world of asylum and immigration issues.
Most of our work is free of charge, funded by legal aid, and provided through referrals from partner agencies. Where legal aid is not available, we may offer not-for-profit rates or free initial advice from volunteer lawyers who are committed to helping our local community.

- Human rights applications on private and family grounds
- Unaccompanied children
- Victims of trafficking
- Victims of domestic violence
- Deportation proceedings

I don’t know what I’d have done without the Law Centre. Thanks to them, I’ve got my certificate and British citizenship ceremony. I’ve got proper ID to go for a job.
