The Hawke's Bay Community Law Centre (HBCLC) was established to provide free access to legal information, advice, assistance, representation and education to the residents of Hawke's Bay who due to their circumstances cannot otherwise access these services. The HBCLC's goal is to meet the unmet legal needs in the Hawke's Bay community. We encourage clients to act for themselves in accordance with

New Zealand's existing laws and customs and we seek solutions that avoid unnecessary procrastination or litigation. The HBCLC has four qualified lawyers, a legal advocate and administration staff. Our staff are based in our office at 202 Karamu Road North, Hastings. Legal clinics are held every Thursday and Friday at the Community Link in Napier, every Tuesday at Community Link in Flaxmere, and every Wednesday at the Heartlands office in Waipukurau. The HBCLC has a commitment to legal education in the community. Staff are available to speak to schools, community groups, training organisations and workplaces on a wide range of legal issues. We also organise block courses of legal education, where knowledgable speakers from the community share their knowledge and experiences of various areas of law. The HBCLC is one of 27 Community Law Centres throughout New Zealand. We are charitable trust, run by a Board of Trustees. The HBCLC is governed by the Legal Services Act 2011 and all staff must comply with the terms of the Act. Most of our funding comes from the Ministry of justice, but we are not a Government Department. We also seek funding from other sources. Donations are gratefully accepted and used for special projects such as purchasing additional equipment and legal resources. Receipts will be issued if required
