Disability Law Service is a unique charity that has been providing free legal advice and representation for disabled people since 1975. Their mission is to fight injustice for disabled people by challenging poverty and inequality, ensuring access to justice and legal rights. They assist disabled individuals, as well as their family members and carers, who may have various impairments or long-term health conditions, including hidden disabilities such as epilepsy, diabetes, and mental health problems.

With a commitment to aiding those in need, Disability Law Service offers a range of services. They provide helpful advice over the phone, offer online fact-sheets, and provide full representation at tribunals. Their services cover employment (including disability discrimination) and community care, and they also offer resources and factsheets on topics such as Welfare Benefits, Goods and Services discrimination, and Higher Education.

Disability Law Service plays a crucial role in a society where almost half of people in poverty are disabled or live in households with disabled individuals. Access to legal advice is often expensive, making their free service vital. You can contribute to their impactful work by volunteering, donating, or persuading your company to provide training through DLS.

With 97. 2% of donations directly funding services for disabled people, you can be assured that your contribution will have a meaningful impact. Contact Disability Law Service today to find out how you can help
