Law Clinics Survey Volunteering Opportunities
LawWorks is in the process of conducting a survey of clients at all our member free legal advice clinics in order to gain a snapshot of the client activity across the country. This will enable us to keep track of what legal issues are being faced in different parts of the country, understand where we can improve delivery and become more aware of who is currently being assisted.
Due to the limited resources at many clinics some will need assistance from volunteers who will be on hand to help clients complete the Survey. We will be dealing with this on a clinic by clinic basis and initially we are in need of 7 volunteers to attend clinics run by South West London Law Centres in the week commencing 21 June.
Volunteers will need to be free to attend the clinic once and to visit LawWorks offices one afternoon to find out more about the task. If you are interested in going along to a free legal advice clinic for one weekday evening to help with this process then please e-mail Sarah Cox sarah.cox@lawworks.org.uk
