Be the Difference: Help Rebuild Lives and Reunite Families
Experience the vital work of Justice First in our first-ever film-based fundraising appeal.
This film highlights the significant role we play in reuniting families and providing safety, stability, and hope to people seeking asylum and refugees in the North East.
With demand for our services increasing by over 50% this year, we urgently need your support to continue offering free legal advice and support to vulnerable individuals. Without expanding to meet this growing demand, families separated for years may be left without the help they need to reunite.
Together, we can ensure that no one faces the asylum system alone. Watch the film, share our story, and join us in transforming lives.

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