#HaveYourSay #CommunityImpact
A client, Alana, is getting help from Hamilton Citizens' Advice with her mortgage arrears, credit card debt, and new caring responsibilities. The outcome is keeping her home and a more stable financial position.
⚖️💛 To conclude our #AccessToJustice focus:
Alana was at risk of losing her home due to mortgage arrears after losing her job.
Without support, she would have faced court alone.
With support, she stayed in her home.
That’s what access to justice looks like.

What does access to justice look like in practice?
Many of the people we support are facing eviction, debt, or disputes on the lowest possible incomes, often linked to health conditions and disability. Without a free and accessible advice service, they would have no access to legal help at all
For many, justice isn’t just complex, it’s out of reach.
That’s why community-based advice and representation services are essential to making the system fair and accessible.
Many of the people we support are facing eviction, debt, or disputes on the lowest possible incomes, often linked to health conditions and disability.

#AccessToJustice
Quote from Sheriff Ross Macfarlane KC, about Hamilton Citizens Advice In-court service. "I thoroughly recommend the services of citizens advice. They provide an invaluable service for people from all walks of life who find themselves confronted by the legal complexities of everyday life. I wholeheartedly support an application for extended funding so that Citizens Advice continue their excellent work in the courts.'
We’re incredibly grateful for this powerful support for our In-Court Service from Sheriff Ross Macfarlane KC.
We’re helping people navigate the legal system every day, because #AccessToJustice should be for everyone, not just those who can afford it
