It's always inspiring to attend Southwark Law Centre AGM & this year was particularly impressive. Representing, advising & campaigning - from housing to planning & now education. A well-deserved reputation as one of the best law centres in the country #socialjustice #equality

To all trustees, particularly across the borough of #Southwark , thank you for the time, commitment, and effort you bring to your charities to help them thrive.

A big thanks to our dedicated trustees for your unwavering support.
