TOWER HAMLETS LAW CENTRE Annual Review 2007-2008

Reception, referral, networking and community work
funding.
A launch event, in the form of a mini conference, held at
the end of October was an opportunity for agencies not
currently involved in the steering group, including a number
of private practice solicitors, to look at the progress so far
and have input into the future work and direction of the
network. Agencies have also been encouraged to develop
their own strategies for the best use they could make of the
Link Advisers in their organisations.
By the New Year we hope to be piloting a web based
referral system across our partners and be in a position to
evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the
partnership models available to us. A further conference
style event is planned for the spring when the Link Advisers
will be nearing the end of their second placement. In
addition to providing a development forum for advice
agencies across the borough, this event will review the
progress of the THCAN project and allow for decision
making on the process required to put us firmly on the path
to being in position to bid for LSC single contracts on behalf
of the network in late 2009.

recommend many
friends to come
should they need
legal help or
advice in the
future.
It was very easy
to talk to [my
advisor] about
my case”
