A Liverpool-based law firm will offer free legal advice to vulnerable adults in the north of the city as part of a new collaboration with a national social care provider
Jackson Canter has teamed up with Creative Support for a series of workshops which will target people with long-term health problems, mental health issues and those at risk of homelessness.
Alongside care services, Creative Support develops and manages housing stock to provide supported accommodation that is best suited to their clients’ needs.
The new collaboration aims to empower both parties with the knowledge to support and advise some of the most vulnerable people in North Liverpool. It will also target those with long-term health problems, a history of criminal activity, refugees and victims of abuse.
Nina Patel, head of Jackson Canter’s housing department, says: “It’s wonderful to be able to offer such a link with such a prominent charity in the local community of North Liverpool.
“Creative Support has proven to be an inspirational organisation to work with thus far and we’re keen to continue to improve our knowledge in this area to better support our client base.”
The project will involve weekly sessions at Creative Support’s office on Townsend Lane from Jackson Canter’s family and housing teams, which will deliver advice to an audience of both service users and support workers.
Haley Farrell, head of family law at the firm, adds: “It’s a pleasure to work with Creative Support – the work that they do is inspiring and highlights how important it is to support such community organisations. This link will allow us to continue making a difference to the most vulnerable in society through the practice of law.”
