We raise awareness of the hardship faced by many of our beneficiaries.

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.”

This training is the beginning of our journey at Justice First to become a more trauma-informed organisation. Thank you, Steve! 🙌👏 🎊 #TraumaInformed #TeamWork #BuildingBridgesNotWalls ...
