Take part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge

This week, every donation will be matched, doubling the number of people we can support facing the civil and family courts alone. 

We provide a safe space for those representing themselves at life-changing moments. You can help us support people through homelessness, loss of access to their children and divorce. Your donation ensures we support those forced to represent themselves in a legal system that was not designed for people to navigate without a lawyer. 

Your £5 becomes £10 – supporting two people remotely through our National Helpline 

Your £16 becomes £32 – providing face-to-face support at one of our local services across England and Wales 

Your support will go twice as far, enabling us to be there when it matters most.

We provide support before, during and after court.

We provide a safe space for people facing court alone. Our volunteers will listen to your story, help you to problem-solve and decide next steps, source reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and talk to you about how to speak in court.

Cuts in legal aid and funding for advice agencies mean more people than ever face court alone. People have no choice but to represent themselves at a moment that could have life-changing outcomes such as loss of access to children or homelessness.

They find themselves in a legal system that was not designed for people to navigate without the help of a lawyer, desperate for somewhere to turn.
