The Employment Project is delivered by the Legal Services Agency through funding provided by the National Lottery Community Fund.

"Thank you so much for all your invaluable help and guidance during what has been a difficult time with my now former employer. That case is now concluded with the settlement arrived at via ACAS. I could have however not have got there without you and your measured and kind advice and the time you took to scrutinise my documents and to offer counsel. I would like to extend my thanks to all the staff in LSA who have taken my phone calls, but most of all, my gratitude to you personally is unlimited."
