Hammersmith and Fulham Law Centre was established in 1979 and has worked on the front line of advice needs for 38 years. They are rooted in our community, have an in-depth understanding of local needs and issues and prioritise helping those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged. They are well connected to other advice agencies and community groups and provide second tier advice to other agencies.

H&F Law Centre has legal aid contracts in housing, immigration and asylum and provides free legal advice and representation to those who are eligible under the scheme.

They give free legal advice and support on a range of housing issues to people in Hammersmith and Fulham.

They also run the duty possession desk on Mondays at the County Court in Wandsworth and on Fridays at the County Court in Brentford.

To start off 2019 H&F Law have arranged a number of training sessions for the Hammersmith and Fulham advice sector. Overwhelmingly, the need for advice was benefits and housing and so H&F Law have targeted those as a priority.

Coffee Morning!!!

Sobus is hosting a FREE coffee morning for local businesses on Wednesday 19th December, 2018 from 8:30am- 10am. We would like to connect with all businesses, whether you are a Start-up, Social enterprise, Charity or a Commercial business.

Given the hard time this area has suffered, the idea is for all businesses to connect, network and use our coffee mornings as a platform to be more visible and maybe serve the local community better.
We hope that monthly coffee mornings will assist businesses to work in conjunction with one another and for the potential of building new business opportunities.
This is an open invite, so please with us, welcome anyone who may benefit from this FREE business community networking event and pass it on to your colleagues/fellow businesses if you are not able to attend.

For this initial coffee morning why not come in, grab a croissant and just say hello!

LBHF logo and link

Dear colleagues,

The council believes that no one should be alone on Christmas day. Our Events team has set up a page on the Hammersmith & Fulham Hive site to fundraise for a bigger than usual lunch get together on Christmas day.

 This is particularly targeting isolated people over 55 who cannot spend the day with friends and family.

 Please let your service users know about this event, as they may know someone who wants to attend. Transport, a gift and a nice meal will be provided at Hammersmith Town Hall. People who are not in need of this may want to make a donation towards its costs – it is easy to do through the Spacehive website.

 More detail can be found by clicking here
