Redfern Legal Centre (RLC) was established in 1977 - the first community legal centre in NSW, and the second in Australia - by lawyers, law students and academics, social workers and community activists outraged at the injustice created by the lack of affordable legal services for disadvantaged and marginalised people. The Centre opened with one paid staff member, barely any money, and lots of volunteers with expertise, enthusiasm, passion, commitment and a vision.
Over the last 30 years Redfern Legal Centre has been blessed with a continuing stream of dedicated volunteers. Nowadays the Centre has 15 paid staff and around 120 volunteers (mainly solicitors and law students), who come in every week to help people find their way through the legal maze.
To celebrate its 30 year anniversary, Redfern Legal Centre is holding a cocktail party at its home, Redfern Town Hall. We hope to contact many past and present volunteers by phone or email, but if that doesn't prove possible, we'd like you to consider this your invitation to join in a celebration of the achievements of the past 30 years and an affirmation of its hopes for the future.
The occasion will include the launch of a history of Redfern Legal Centre and a photo exhibition, and will give everyone a wonderful opportunity to catch up with others who have given their time for Redfern.
