Ahead of World Mental Health Day tomorrow, we’re reminding everyone that you don’t have to face difficult situations alone. 💚

At NCLS, 26% of our clients experience mental ill health, and we know that dealing with a legal problem can bring added worry, stress and uncertainty.

Sometimes, reaching out and getting the right advice can help make things feel a little more manageable.

Whether you’re facing difficulties with debt, housing, benefits, family matters or another legal issue, our team is here to listen and provide free, independent and confidential advice.

One less worry can make a difference.

Behind every debt problem is a person, and for Julie, the impact of her financial situation went far beyond the numbers.

Our Debt Team worked with Julie and her creditors over many months to help ease that pressure. To date, 8 of her 9 creditors have agreed to write off approximately £8,500 of debt, helping to reduce the anxiety she was experiencing around her finances.

Stories like Julie’s show just how important access to free, confidential and independent advice can be. 💚

Each academic year, we’re delighted to welcome law students from UEA to volunteer alongside our teams at NCLS.

Working alongside our staff and solicitors, students have the opportunity to gain valuable, real-world experience while supporting the work we do for people across Norfolk.

For many, their time with us forms an important part of their studies and gives them an insight into what working within the legal sector can really look like.

Over the past year, we helped 4,243 people with 5,071 legal issues across Norfolk, providing free, impartial and confidential legal advice to those who need it most.

From helping people stay in their homes and access the support they’re entitled to, to supporting victims of domestic abuse, our work continues to make a real difference to people’s lives.

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff, volunteers, funders and partners who make this work possible. 💙

Debt problems don’t always exist in isolation. They can come alongside difficult family circumstances, health concerns, housing problems and other challenges that make finding a way forward feel even harder.

For people like James, having someone listen, understand the wider situation and work with creditors can help relieve some of that pressure.

At NCLS, our debt advice is free, confidential and tailored to each person’s circumstances.

If you or someone you know is struggling with debt, support is available. Get in touch with our team today:

Working together makes a real difference.

Last week, we were proud to join more than 20 teams from across Norfolk's legal community for the Norwich Law Walk, raising funds for Norfolk Community Law Service and Norfolk Citizens Advice.

The money raised through events like this helps ensure local people can continue to access free advice and support when they need it most.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated and helped support access to justice across Norfolk. 💚

Reaching people who may need our support starts with making sure they know it’s there.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Veterans' Foundation for helping us reach more members of Norfolk’s Armed Forces community, including serving personnel, veterans and their families.

Over the next two years, the Veterans’ Foundation will donate an incredible £30,000 to NCLS. Their support will help us to carry out further outreach, raise awareness of our services and connect more people with free legal advice when they need it.

A huge thank you to the Veterans’ Foundation for supporting our work and helping us make our services more accessible across Norfolk. 💚

Funding plays a vital role in ensuring victims of domestic abuse can access the support they need, when they need it most.

That's why we're incredibly grateful to Norwich Consolidated Charities for awarding NCLS £30,000 towards our Domestic Abuse service.

Their generous support will help us continue providing free specialist legal advice and guidance to people across Norfolk who are navigating some of the most difficult circumstances of their lives.

Thank you for helping us make access to justice possible.
