- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives the trustees confidence the Charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “In 2024/25 we were able to assist 5,469 clients. This was 399 less than the previous year (2023/24 to 5,868) due to a number of factors including the remodelling of our clinic advice scheme.”
- “This 50-year history means that thousands of people have contributed to the Law Centre, as staff, trustees, volunteers, or clinic participants. We want to re-engage with this wider community, recognising them as a vital part of our future.”
- “Entering 50 years of service to our local communities. We are celebrating our 50th year from the date the first law centre opened in Balham, in a dilapidated shop, in June 1974.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
