⚖️ External Legal Support
Please remember the Lisbon Project does not provide any direct legal or specialist advice and - if you require a lawyer - you must access that more specialist support outside of the Lisbon Project. LP Bridge Team volunteers can support you making initial contact with these other organisations if helpful to you. Other organisations providing legal support to migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in Portugal:

⚙️ Mapping of External Services
The Lisbon Project is passionate about building community and offering opportunities in Education and Employability as well as administrative and emotional support.
However, we are not the appropriate organisation to respond in many situations of need that our community members experience. We therefore take seriously our responsibility to gather information about external organisations who are specialist in those areas of need - to build relationships with them, invite them to deliver workshops and - most importantly - equip our community members with information about how to connect with them.
