Getting legal advice can be very expensive and many people can't afford it. Law centres are based in local communities to give free legal advice and assistance with social welfare problems such as homelessness, advice about welfare benefits and employment and immigration issues.

Alma-Constance and Lucinda talk to Franck Kiangala, Director and Immigration Solicitor at North Kensington Law Centre. He tells us:

· why and how law centres were created

· the type of cases they are involved with in the North Kensington community

· why is it so important to have law centres today

· the challenges law centre clients and communities face such as the Grenfell fire and the Windrush scandal

· cases that involve children

Franck tell us about his career and why he specialises in immigration law. When Franck was 10 years old, he was very curious about the world and was always reading. He memorised all the capitals of every country in the world!

Written, edited and produced by Lucinda Acland.
