Duncan Lewis' chosen charity for family law was the Asian Women’s Resource Centre which is based in Harlesden. The charity’s mission statement is "to lead in the provision of support services for Asian women and children, by working in partnership with funding providers, the public and private sector and the community".

Duncan Lewis Director Jitender Birah presented a cheque for £800 to the Director of Asian Women’s Resource Centre on behalf of Duncan Lewis. The Asian Women's Resouce Centre were extremely pleased to received this amount particularly given they had recently been told their funding was being cut from the government and they were desperately trying to raise funds to continue this vital service. The charity confirmed that they will be using the money to be able to provide travel and expenses to their vulnerable women who had come from all over London to engage with their service.

Duncan Lewis have acted both in the immigration and family/child care department for women who have been referred by the Asian Women’s Resource Centre and have been successful in obtaining injunctions on their behalf and dealing with their financial matters on divorce as well as assisting them in care proceedings. The immigration department has been successful in obtaining Indefinite Leave to Remain for women who have come to the UK as a spouse, and had to flee the home due to domestic violence, but are unable to return home.
