b'EXAMPLES INCLUDE:COMMUNITY LAW & MEDIATIONCommunity Law & Mediation is an independent community law centre providing free legal advice, advocacy, mediation and education services.IMPACT:Funding provided free legal advice clinics on topics such as housing, homelessness, employment, equality, family, consumer, and social welfare law to 120 individuals. It also delivered two virtual Know Your Rights legal information talks to 60 individuals from across the island of Ireland, covering the importance of making a Will and Enduring Power of Attorney.Without access to justice, it is impossible to challenge injustice or hold decision makers to account, particularly for vulnerable people or at vulnerable times. Community Law & Mediation is very grateful for this grant which allowed us to meet a real need in communities experiencing poverty, social exclusion or inequality for access to justice.
