We have received about 145k from Tower Hamlets Council each year to provide specialist legal advice services to local people in partnership with the Island Advice Centre and the Legal Advice Centre.
The proposal in the Main Stream Grant Cabinet papers is to offer just 145k for these services over 2 years and 3 months of service.
What is the proposed cut? 60% against our last contract (we were expecting a 6% cut)
How many people will not get a service? 500 to 900 people (depending on the complexity of their case)
What will be the loss to these people? We estimate (on our past performance) that local people will miss out on £400,879.80 of compensation, awards and other financial outcomes due to the proposed cuts
