The Department’s Family Legal Clinic was set up following a reduction in Legal Aid provision locally and has been offering free legal support to people in Ceredigion since 2016. It sees an average of ten clients every month with additional support, including completing legal paperwork, provided by third-year or postgraduate students under the supervision of a qualified solicitor.

The Veterans Legal Link has been providing free online legal advice, casework and assistance to veterans and their families since 2015. The number of individuals using the service annually has risen to 200 in 2022-23. Most people using the service are either unemployed or in receipt of benefits or pension; many are homeless and the majority fall under the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s definition of poverty.
