"West Norfolk is a fantastic place to live and work, and we are pleased to be able to do our bit to continue to make that so through providing free legal advice and support where need be."

We're proud to be supporting the Love West Norfolk campaign, celebrating the people, places and communities that make West Norfolk so special 💙

Over the past three years, we've seen the number of people we support in West Norfolk triple, thanks to the strong partnerships we've built and the warm welcome we've received from local communities.

Safety. Stability. A fresh start.

For just £185 per case, Norfolk Community Law Service provides specialist family and domestic abuse support to people navigating some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable.

In 2025/26, we helped 185 victims of domestic abuse take decisive steps to protect themselves and their children, supporting them to move forward into safer, independent lives. We also supported 356 people through child contact proceedings, providing calm, practical guidance to help them navigate a highly stressful process with confidence.

The Norfolk Community Justice Partnership helps make this vital work possible.

As we begin sharing the impact NCLS made on people's lives throughout 2025/26, we wanted to start with the voices that matter most - our clients.

These are just a handful of the many kind messages we've received over the past year. Behind every quote is someone who reached out during a difficult time and found the support, guidance and advocacy they needed.

To everyone who trusted us to stand alongside them, thank you. Your words remind us why our work matters 🤝

We've been working on something exciting... and it's finally here! 💻

Our brand-new NCLS website is now officially live.

Together with Creativity Unbound, we've been busy behind the scenes creating a refreshed website designed to make it easier to find the information you need about our organisation and how to access our services - whether you're a potential client, existing client, partner or funder.

We've put a lot of thought into creating a site that is more accessible, informative and user-friendly, helping visitors quickly find the support and resources they're looking for.

A huge thank you to The Clothworkers' Foundation and the CityFibre Community Fund for their generous grants, which helped make this project possible.

Together, our voices are stronger.

Norfolk Community Law Service has joined Sue Lambert Trust, Leeway Domestic Violence and Abuse Services, Brave Futures, Daisy Programme and the One to One Project in publishing an open letter ahead of Norfolk's Police and Crime Commissioner election tomorrow.

Every day, specialist organisations across Norfolk support adults, children and families affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. At NCLS alone, we helped more than 500 domestic abuse victims in 2025/26 through free legal advice and support.

Sustainable funding is essential if we are to continue helping survivors access justice, safety and the support they deserve.

We are encouraging voters to consider the needs of victims and survivors when they cast their vote.

A benefits decision can change someone's life. When that decision is wrong, the consequences can be devastating.

For £1,476, Norfolk Community Law Service can support one person through the appeals process to secure the benefits they're entitled to.

Last year, that meant helping 122 people overturn negative benefit decisions, unlocking £3.3 million in financial support - an average of £27,231 per person.

Through the Norfolk Community Justice Partnership, businesses can help ensure more people receive the expert legal support they need when they need it most.

Did you know that a growing number of people aged 65 and over are being priced out of access to justice?

At NCLS, we have already seen an increase in enquiries from older people. With Norfolk's population aged 65+ expected to grow by a further 83,000 over the next 20 years, demand for accessible legal advice is only set to rise.

That's why we are delighted to have received three years of funding from The Mercers' Company for our project, Justice for All: Expanding Legal Access for Norfolk's Older Residents.

This funding will help us reach more older people across Norfolk with free, confidential and specialist legal advice, ensuring they can access the support they need to understand and assert their rights.

A huge thank you to The Mercers' Company for their generosity and support.

We are always keen to work with organisations that support local communities. If you would like to find out more about partnering with us, please contact our Outreach Officers at [email protected] 📧
