Important notice to all clients
Women’s Legal Service is undertaking major renovations to our premises, and a number of our services to clients are now reduced or closed.
Due to health and safety considerations for our volunteers and clients of the service, we advise that during the month of JUNE we will
- Close all evening sessions (At this stage evening sessions will not re-open until Wednesday 2nd July)
- Close our service on Wednesdays and Fridays
Therefore, unless previously arranged with staff, please do not visit the Service during June. We anticipate that the bulk of renovations will be completed by the end of June and will advise of arrangements for July as soon as possible.
