The Trustees of the Island Law Centre have, sadly and with no other option, made the very difficult decision to close the Law Centre after nearly 20 years.
This will take place with immediate effect from Friday 31st March 2023 and current clients have been made aware of the situation for some time.
Lack of funding
A closure crisis in August 2022 led to a funding injection from the Isle of Wight council.
That funding has now ceased and no other funds are available from any sources to support the Law Centre’s sustainability into the future.
A bitter loss
The local community will feel the Law Centre’s loss bitterly.
It has been a lifeline and a beacon of support for vulnerable local people facing difficult circumstances and many will now struggle without ongoing support.
Thanks to team
Finally, we would like to thank our amazing team at the Law Centre for always acting with professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication and for having a genuine compassion for the needs of their clients.
