Our Christmas Challenge ends at midday today, Tuesday 4th December 2018. Thank you to all who have donated so far; your generosity will help more people get the access to justice that everyone deserves.
Truth, fairness, justice. These are the presents that someone is desperately hoping for this Christmas. Will you give them?
This week we've shared the stories of some of our applicants on Twitter @WeAreAdvocate. Without free legal help from our panel of pro bono barristers, Claire, David, Joan, Lucy, Peter and Susan would have had to face court alone. David, a victim of domestic violence, was matched with a volunteer barrister who represented him in court regarding access to his child. With the barrister's help, David was awarded the status of primary caregiver. David said:
Many, many thanks for the help you gave me. I find it hard to stand up for myself. If you had not provided me with a barrister I don't know what I would have done. The barrister was absolutely marvellous and helped tremendously in court.
Every £5 counts towards giving vulnerable litigants in person like David a voice and the right kind of legal support at the crucial moment.
The challenge ends at midday TODAY. Donate here: tinyurl.com/AdvocateBigGive2018 to give a stranger access to justice this Christmas.
