The Speakeasy was set up in 1992 in Cardiff, to help people struggling with chronic debt. We advise on debt, welfare benefits and housing problems and run a fuel poverty project. Since March 2015, we have worked with a large number of Cardiff solicitors to run a pro bono employment law clinic, which has won the Lawworks Cymru Pro bono Award for the last two years.

We aim to make our service accessible by holding drop-in clinics and working in outreach venues, while ensuring our solicitors and advisers have the time to take complex cases to court or First-Tier and Upper Tribunals.
