Thursday Night Volunteer Service

The Centre is once again operating our Thursday Night Volunteer Service. Solicitors are usually rostered on once every 3-4 weeks, with client appointments from 5:30pm onwards, to provide advice in relation to an area of law (family, civil or crime) that they are familiar with.
