Our vision is a society where everyone has access to justice

We increase available resources for the provision of free legal advice and support across the UK

We develop and implement grant making programmes which align with our values, improve reach and maximise impact

We improve understanding and awareness of the role of the law as a tool for social justice

The organisations we support work tirelessly to help the most vulnerable in society, including:

  • Keeping family breadwinners in employment through challenging unlawful discrimination
  • Preventing young families from being made homeless
  • Supporting disabled people to avoid poverty by achieving a basic level of income
  • Helping victims of sexual violence and torture to rebuild their lives

2/3 of the UK population
do not know how to get legal advice

14 million people live in poverty and can’t afford access to justice

The annual legal aid budget, in real terms, is £950m less than it was in 2010

 Up to a million people live in areas with no legal aid provision for housing

*Statistics according to the Legal Needs of Individuals in England and Wales Report. More information can be found here.
