JF Client

“I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you and your truly professional team for all the hard work towards presenting my case. You’ll always be my role model and a dear friend and a true gentleman. I am now a proud member of this great national and a greater community.”

JF Client

“I am grateful very much for such a voluntary organisation. Their kindness makes me believe in all good positive things. And I hope one day I could join them in helping more people without conditions.”

JF Client

“They are a very helpful organisation who help Asylum seekers who have no Solicitors. They’re straight to the point about whether they can help you or not. While you’re there, they offer you snacks, tea or coffee and if you are destitute, they can even help with clothes and food through another charity. Very wonderful bunch of people there.”

JF Client

“Great team with huge empathy. God bless you. You helped me indirectly and I am very grateful and humble.”

JF Client

“Outstanding service received today regarding my ILR application. The advisor has excellent communication skills. Very responsive and helpful.”

We are looking forward to joining this #RightToRemain event In Birmingham next week. 🥳If you haven’t seen and used the Right to Remain Toolkit, we highly recommend it. It is a brilliant online resource which details each stage of the asylum system and can be accessed in lots of different languages by changing the language on the website. We often signpost our clients to this resource so that they can read sections relevant to them in their own time and in their own languages. You can find the toolkit here: righttoremain.org.uk/toolkit/Right to Remain’s Annual Gathering will take place on Tuesday 19 March, in Birmingham City Centre. It will provide an opportunity for our friends and allies across the sector to gather in one place to inspire each other, honour our community and reaffirm our commitment to #NoOneIsIllegal.Read on for more information about the event, including ticket prices, and how the ticket system will work.righttoremain.org.uk/request-a-ticket-to-our-annual-gathering-2024/ ...
