Matched Funding
In October 2009, the Ministry of Justice, recognising the value of LawWorks’ projects and the financial pressure under which it is currently operating, offered LawWorks £50,000 emergency matched-funding.
LawWorks is pleased to report that this money has now been raised thanks to the fantastic help received from LawWorks supporters. £50,000 in donations from individuals and organisations has raised £100,000 for LawWorks as a result of this appeal.
LawWorks would like to thank the following organisations whose help has been crucial in delivering advice and assistance to those most in need:
| The Law Society - £25,000 | London Legal Support Trust £11,000 |
| BPP - £1,000 | CMS Cameron McKenna - £1,000 |
| Mayer Brown - £1,000 | Access to Justice Foundation £3,500 |
| LBC Wise Counsel - £2,150 | Anonymous donor - £6,000 |
| Sandie Okoro (honorarium) - £140 | College of Law - £3,500 |
LawWorks continues to help those who are not eligible for Legal Aid and who cannot afford to pay for legal advice. Funding is always needed to ensure that LawWorks can provide this service and we welcome any future offers of help.
