BRAG enterprises is teaming up with Fife Law Centre to improve community access to free legal services

Brag, which is based at Crosshill Community Enterprise Centre on Main Street, will host Fife Law Centre to offer free legal guidance and representation to those who might struggle to get help otherwise.

People who go to Fife Law Centre's outreach session can also get help with rent or mortgage arrears, going to tribunals, power of attorney, writing wills, and making compensation claims if they have been a victim of crime or sexual abuse.

They can also give advice on employment issues like unpaid wages.

The law centre, which is a team of solicitors, works with partner organisations across Fife and can recommend the right service for other problems outside their scope.

A BRAG Enterprises spokesperson said: "BRAG Enterprises is pleased to announce a new partnership initiative designed to improve community access to essential legal support."

"Our Pantry sessions have served as an important platform for members to meet support agencies, and this March we are proud to welcome Fife Law Centre for a dedicated outreach session."

"Welcoming Fife Law Centre to our Pantry sessions reflects this mission in action and ensures members have access to the essential advice and representation they may urgently need."

If you cannot make the session, you can call them on 01592 786710, or email them at info@fifelawcentre.co.uk.

The law centre will be taking up its role as a source of help on Thursday, 5 March, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm.
