The Free Representation Unit (FRU) is currently celebrating its 50th Anniversary.

FRU is a charity that has been providing representation in social security and employment tribunals since 1972. 

We help people who are not eligible for legal aid and cannot afford lawyers. To provide our service we train volunteer law students and legal professionals in the early stages of their career in the skills required to give confident and competent support for the rights of others.

As a charity, FRU offers its services to the public completely free of charge. We are reliant purely on donations to enable us to fulfil our charitable objectives.

We are very grateful to all our supporters, without whom our work would not be possible.
