Demonstrating your impact
The data and insight you share as part of the grant reporting process goes towards building an evidence base that helps us understand and demonstrate the impact of advice and the barriers people face. We use this to make the case for free legal advice with other major funders. Your work doesn’t just help your beneficiaries, it helps demonstrate the value of access to justice.
