Free Legal Advice Centre

Debt Free Advice is a pioneering coalition of charities dedicated to tackling financial hardship in London. Since 2006, we have provided free, impartial debt advice to over 500,000 individuals, ensuring that no one faces a financial crisis alone. Our multi-channel, community-driven approach has made a transformative impact, with over 18,000 people supported last year alone, collectively making them £23 million financially better off. In response to escalating demand, we are expanding our coalition from April 2025, bringing in six additional charitable advice providers and increasing appointment availability by 25%. Additionally, our award-winning video advice kiosks - which won the Third Sector Innovation Award for Service Delivery in 2024 - will extend into 13 prisons through a new Ministry of Justice partnership, ensuring critical debt support reaches previously underserved communities. By combining local expertise, national partnerships, and innovative digital solutions, Debt Free Advice is reshaping financial inclusion across the capital.
