The Isle of Wight Law Centre will be closing its doors for the final time at the end of August 2022.
The news was shared with the Law Centre’s followers on social media. They announced,
“As many of our long standing supporters and clients will know, we have fought for many years to maintain our valuable, free confidential and independent advice, representation and support service for people of the Isle of Wight (the service that the Island deserves and needs), unfortunately attempts to secure further funding have not come to fruition, and sadly at a time when our services are/will be needed more than ever.”
News OnTheWight readers will remember back in 2019 a GoFund Me appeal was launched to raise money to support this well-used and vital service. The Government came to the rescue later that year.
“Over and out”
The Law Centre went on to thank their staff and supporters,
“Firstly we would like to thank our wonderful, caring, talented, professional staff, past and present, for all of your hard work and determination in delivering valued help and support to the most vulnerable.
“Secondly, thank you to all of our lovely supporters and clients many of which feel like family to us.
“And finally, thank you to everyone who supported us over the last 20 years.
“Over and out. From all at the Isle Of Wight Law Centre.”
