Youth Legal & Resource Centre
Youth Legal & Resource Centre (YLRC) is an independent charity based in Wandsworth, London, dedicated to providing free, confidential legal advice and support to marginalised and vulnerable young people aged 16 to 25 across the London area. Established in March 2013, YLRC aims to facilitate young people’s access to justice through high-quality, youth-friendly legal services, focusing on housing, community care, and social welfare law.
Legal Aid Services
While YLRC does not offer legal aid in the traditional sense, it provides free legal advice and assistance to eligible young people, including care leavers, young carers, disabled young people, asylum seekers, and migrant children and their families. The centre specialises in areas such as housing and homelessness, ensuring that young people have access to the support they need to secure safe and stable living arrangements.
One of YLRC’s notable initiatives is the “Opening Gates” project, a specialist homelessness service that assists young people through the homelessness process. This includes providing telephone and face-to-face advice about legal rights, making local authority appointments, accompanying clients to interviews, and following up on decisions.
