Lasa is a social welfare law and tech charity.
Established in 1984, we’re dedicated to supporting organisations in their use of technology and the delivery of social welfare law advice to the disadvantaged communities they serve.
We do a whole heap of stuff to help everyone from frontline third sector orgs to government departments (and everyone in-between) to deliver efficient, high quality services.
We’re committed to social justice and to helping organisations deliver the most effective services for the benefit of their users.
To this end we work with thousands of organisations every year, including frontline VCS orgs; local authorities; social care organisations; housing associations; solicitor firms and barristers chambers; funders; media organisations; the judiciary; government departments … and many, many more.

Strategic review of Lasa Social Welfare Law Services
Grant: £26,340
November 14, 2018
Lasa will partner with Social Finance to create a new strategy to extend the reach of its services, and further develop the ability to generate earned income. The focus will be to concentrate on developing core social welfare law services meeting the needs of advisers working with communities to protect rights and ensure access to justice.
The project will include an analysis of Lasa’s current userbase to see who, why and how people use Lasa’s services, what is done well, what could be improved, people’s perception of Lasa and where it sits in the market. The project will also review and analyse the current strategic plan and look to identify potential expansion opportunities into new areas.
