Birmingham
The Justice For All Campaign has been set up to stop the erosion of people’s rights to free legal advice. With proposed cuts to legal aid and other associated funds free advice could become a thing of the past. We aim to stop this by voicing our dissent at a local and national level. Please come and join us in our ‘Day of Action’
Workers and Service Users from a variety of Advice and Legal support agencies across the city will join Jack Dromey MP to lead a silent protest against the governments proposed cuts to legal aid services.
- Please join us in the protest to show your support to protect frontline services which keep families in their homes and in work.
Please also sign our petition to support the provision of free legal advice for all the people of Birmingham.

Coventry
Our legal advice and representation at Coventry Law Centre is free to our clients. It is paid for by funding from Coventry City Council, the Equality and Human Rights Commission and other funders, and by Legal Aid. The government is currently proposing drastic cuts to Legal Aid.

We believe free, independent advice and representation on legal matters is essential to achieve justice for all. Legal rights have no meaning if you can’t enforce them.
