Legal Advice

DAWN Advice helped pioneer the delivery of legal services by telephone, regardless of the distance. Since 1994 we have delivered specialist legal advice and casework through telephone and distance-based support. Our work in this area contributed to the introduction in July 2004 of a national legal telephone service, CLS Direct, now known as Community Legal Advice.

Working in partnership with colleagues at the Legal Services Commission on the development and service delivery of Community Legal Advice we delivered advice on a wide range of social welfare issues.

In 2009 we became a member of Citizens Advice after investing in the Castle Morpeth Citizens Advice Bureau which was facing closure. DAWN Advice continues to the manage the bureau, which is now known as DAWN CAB.
