Grenfell Urgent Action (360G-CR-3083802)

BA Flying Start for Grenfell - There is a desperate need for a coordinated response to legal and advice services for residents affected by the fire. Specifically this includes support and advice around resident’s participation in the Inquiry and around legalities in relation to housing and immigration. North Kensington Law Centre and K&C Citizens Advice Bureau have been working with funders and residents and developed a model of provision to address these needs and have jointly applied for £292,257 over 2 years. This includes dedicated outreach post and case worker to take forward direct work with residents and develop other pro bono relationships, as well as support local organisations to ensure legal and advice services are co-ordinated, responsive, timely and adaptable to the changing situation. Five Funders are working together to fund this model of support. They are; Comic Relief (with funds from BA) ; Big Lottery Fund; Trust for London; City Bridge Trust and London Education Foundation
