Why we need your help
Support Through Court aim to reduce the disadvantage of people facing the civil and family justice system without a lawyer, enabling them to access justice. We believe that no one should face court alone and so we work to provide immediate support to everyone who comes to us.
Our trained volunteers provide emotional and practical support to clients throughout the court process. We ensure those facing court alone can represent themselves with dignity and support them to fully take part in court to better access justice.
Our volunteers support people at times of extreme stress, enabling them to present their case to the best of their ability. This gives them a far greater chance of accessing justice. Support from our volunteers can have a direct impact on the outcome of a client’s case and in consequence on the rest of their lives.
The rapid rise in our client contact numbers demonstrates the extent of the need we meet. While we are proud to have coped with this additional pressure without any decrease in the quality of our service, we need your support to be able to secure the resources to help increasing number of Litigants in Person.
