The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has pledged an extra £10.4m for free legal advice charities helping people with housing, family, welfare and debt issues.

The Improving Outcomes Through Legal Support grant, announced this week, will help 59 charities in total.

Clare Carter, chief executive of the Access to Justice Foundation, said the grant would help organisations ‘sustain and improve access to early social welfare and family legal advice, specialist casework and where court or tribunal proceedings are needed’.

Justice minister Lord Bellamy said: ‘Early intervention makes a huge difference in preventing legal problems from snowballing.’
