What we do

Free Legal Advice

We provide free legal advice clinics on social housing and related social welfare law.

Free Legal Representation

Mercy Law Resource Centre provides free legal representation, where required, to individual clients in social housing and related social welfare law.

Training and Legal Support

Since our establishment, MLRC has worked in partnership with many different organisations to advance the cause of access to justice for homeless people.

Policy Work

Arising out of advice and casework, we seek to identify issues which affect our client group and work to bring about changes in areas which would be of benefit to them.

Befriending

The Befriending Programme is an invaluable asset to MLRC as we recognise that the legal system can be alienating and difficult and frustrating to negotiate.

Support Mercy Law

Volunteer With MLRC

If you are interested in joining our team in a voluntary capacity, please email us to tell us more about yourself and we will be in touch.

Mercy Law Resource Centre, a registered charity (CHY No: 18698), is totally dependent on charitable funds and needs your support to continue to provide free legal advice and representation to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Corporate Partnership

MLRC are looking for new partnerships with business partners that can make an impact. We love hearing from people as passionate about their work as we are, and would be delighted to engage with your corporate social responsibility team or committee.
