Demo against Tory Cuts part 2

The Hammersmith Law Centre has made a near-30-year career of successfully challenging government and local government on behalf of local people. Now, the Hammersmith Law Centre is facing a 60% cut in the grant that it gets from Hammersmith and Fulham Council. These cuts will make it even harder for vulnerable local residents to obtain legal advice and ensure their rights and entitlements. The cut could mean an end to vital local legal services the Law Centre has provided.
Hammersmith and Fulham's Conservative council is planning to cut funding to a mighty range of longstanding local voluntary groups. That's no big surprise from a Conservative council, although it was certainly delivered as one. Some groups have only just heard that they're about to lose their funding, and mostly, they've heard it from each other. The council has not been too quick to let these applicants know that their money has gone.
