Waikato

Community Law Waikato is a registered charitable trust providing free legal services including information, advice, assistance, representation and education Waikato wide. We believe in a just and fair Aotearoa, with a mission to provide free legal services to those in the Waikato who are unable to access it.

The mission of ensuring that all New Zealanders have access to legal services is a huge challenge. Unfortunately, limited resources means targeting the very highest need. Eligibility for service depends on the nature of the legal problem, financial means, and other factors that pose as barriers to access legal services such as debt, mental illness, and age.

The service delivery approach is holistic which identifies not only legal issues but also any contributing / underlying social factors. Referrals are made which address the client’s needs in a broader context, aiming to empower individuals so that in many instances, they can help themselves.

Although a significant proportion of Community Law services could be described in the sense of “being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff”, another aspect of the service is about being the “fence at the top”. The emphasis on educating the community has grown over the years and it is a specific part of our contracted services. Education and information functions are designed to increase awareness of legal rights and obligations within the community as well as the availability of legal and other services.

Thank you to Neil and the team there at CLW for being so supportive during such a stressful time. You definitely went over and above any expectation I had and this amount honestly doesnt reflect how grateful I actually am. I wish I could give more.
