Our priorities

Access to Justice

What would good look like?

A fair and functioning justice system, where everyone has access to high quality legal advice, so they can realise their rights.

Access to justice is a fundamental concept that underpins democracy and human rights.

Many people experience multi-faceted problems that may have an unrecognised legal solution. We support organisations that promote access to justice through the provision of specialist legal advice and representation, by which we mean the delivery of specialist advice relating to the resolution of a legal problem where the advice is tailored to the individual’s circumstances, normally including end-to-end casework through to representation.

We also support work which focuses on defending and improving the system in which people can obtain justice, as an integral part of the rule of law.

We aim for our funding to have an impact on the most marginalised and excluded communities.
