Reading Welfare Rights

Reading Welfare Rights advocates for Reading’s most vulnerable citizens, many of whom experience a debilitating mixture of physical and mental health conditions. We support individuals who are entitled to state aid, but who, due to the complex nature of the benefits system, cannot access the benefits they are due without our intervention. Our advocacy services go well beyond simply providing advice. We act as the client’s representative, including speaking on their behalf to government agencies, and frequently representing our clients at tribunals, arguing cases before a judge.
