The Black & Minority Ethnic Advice Network
The Black & Minority Ethnic Advice Network (BAN) is an integrated network of advice services, delivered for and by the people from London's migrant refugee communities.
You can access BAN services through drop-ins, appointments, telephone, email, or home visits. BAN members have access to interpreters and translators, to provide services in community languages.
BAN members provide free, confidential advice on:
- debt & money issues
- welfare benefits & tax credits
- housing & homelessness
- employment
- community care
- immigration and asylum
- education
- consumer
- family matters
- health
- discrimination
- domestic violence
The majority of organisations listed on this website have been accredited with the CLS Quality Mark, which means that they meet the quality standards set out by the Legal Services Commission. Organisations that have either not applied for the Quality Mark or have not been accredited have also been listed, as they provide an invaluable service to the community. The vast majority provide a high quality service. However, as this has not been independently assessed it cannot be guaranteed.
