Hegarty Partners with Little Miracles to Offer Free Monthly Legal Advice in Peterborough

At Hegarty, we believe in supporting our community by providing accessible legal guidance to those who need it most.

That’s why we are proud to partner with Little Miracles, a charity supporting families with children who have additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions, to offer free monthly Mini Legal Advice Sessions in Peterborough.

Free Legal Advice Sessions for the Community

Working closely with Michelle King, CEO of Little Miracles, we launched these sessions at The Spinney, Hartwell Way, Peterborough, back in March 2025.

Since then, every session has been fully booked, with a waiting list in place to ensure that if there is a last-minute cancellation, someone else can benefit from the available slot.

Legal Support We Provide

During each session, our family law specialist, Sarah Chapman, is available to give confidential legal advice on a range of matters, including:

• Child Arrangements Orders – Contact, residence, and parental responsibility issues for parents and grandparents
• Varying or Enforcing Child Arrangement Orders
• Special Guardianship Orders
• Change of Name Deeds
• Marriage Affidavits
• Divorce and Financial Settlements
• Non-Molestation Orders

Sarah has also signposted attendees to other departments within Hegarty for assistance with trusts and probate, landlord and tenant issues, negligence claims, and living trusts.

Who Can Attend?

These sessions are open not only to families supported by Little Miracles but also to their staff, volunteers, and students on placement. We can also arrange the session to be over the telephone if people are unable to attend at the centre.

Sarah commented, “Since these sessions with Little Miracles have commenced, I have met with just over 20 people. The people I have met have been lovely and it is my pleasure to be able to offer advice and assistance to each of them.”

Each meeting is an opportunity for people to get practical legal guidance in a friendly and supportive environment.

Why We Do This

Our partnership with Little Miracles reflects our commitment to making legal services more accessible and building stronger connections within our local community.

By providing free, face-to-face advice, we can help individuals take the first step toward resolving legal issues with confidence.

Sarah said, “I really enjoy working alongside Little Miracles and feel it is important to support members of the community how best we can.

I am looking forward to these sessions continuing and being able to offer more help to the staff and volunteers at Little Miracles, and those that attend the centre.”
