Vesterbro Retshjælp

Founded in 1980, Vesterbro Retshjælp is a non-profit association based in København, Denmark working on justice & legal aid, housing & homelessness, employment & skills.

Vesterbro Retshjælp is a volunteer-run free legal advice organisation in Copenhagen's Vesterbro district. Since 1980 it has provided anonymous, free, verbal legal guidance on matters including family and inheritance law, property law, employment, tenancy, immigration and social benefits, following a self-help principle. Advice is given by volunteer lawyers and law students, and the organisation is funded in part by an annual grant from the Danish Civil Affairs Agency.
