rcjadvice.org.ukAbout RCJ and Islington Citizens Advice Bureaux
RCJ and Islington Citizens Advice Bureaux is an independent registered charity established over four decades ago. It delivers free, impartial legal and social welfare advice primarily to Royal Courts of Justice users, Islington residents, and surrounding areas across England and Wales. Its core mission advances education, health preservation, and poverty relief, prioritising access to justice and inequality reduction for those facing legal, financial, or social disadvantage. The Trust blends Citizens Advice ethos with specialist legal expertise, mobilising pro bono lawyers, volunteers, and advisers for holistic crisis support. Values of justice, fairness, equality, integrity, collaboration, and evidence-driven practice underpin its responsive, needs-led services.

The Trust funds targeted interventions in access to justice, family breakdown, domestic abuse, homelessness prevention, debt crises, welfare benefits, housing, employment, and immigration.

Specific programmes include the FLOWS programme for women survivors of domestic abuse and the Time Together child contact centre. Projects serve vulnerable court users, marginalised families, and disadvantaged individuals across London, especially Islington, with select national reach across England and Wales.
