What are your circumstances? if you have suffered domestic abuse you could be entitled to legal aid if it’s a divorce.

If you are on a low income you can apply for help with court fees through the court system, either at the point of issue or for a refund for a fee you have already paid. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-help-with-court-and-tribunal-fees
If you mean help with legal fees (i.e. paying for a lawyer to advise and represent you) I am not aware of any charities which pay towards the fees, however, if you have been the victim of domestic abuse, or if the case relate to Care or other public law children act proceedings, you may be able to get legal aid.
If not, then it's worth checking whether there is a Law Centre or similar near you. Many universities offer assistance via law students .
If you explain what type of case you need help for then people will be able to offer more specific suggestions.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0
