Maximum value:
£30,000.00
Objective of fund:
We believe in justice not charity. For us, this means taking a rights-based approach and supporting work that promotes rather than diminishes dignity – work that is respectful, acknowledges people’s strengths, and supports them to exercise their own agency.
Our focus is on supporting the most marginalised and excluded groups in the UK, who are often from communities experiencing poverty and racial injustice.
Upholding the human rights framework, is a means of providing overall protection to everyone.
In supporting access to justice, we recognise that high-quality legal advice and representation is a powerful tool to help bring about both individual redress and systemic change.
We focus on work with people who have migrated to the UK, refugees and those seeking asylum, and people caught up in the criminal legal system, as some of the groups most marginalised and excluded by society.
Our Grants Committee meets four times a year to decide upon grant applications. The application deadlines for meetings in 2025/26 are as follows:
