Breaking down the barriers to justice in the UK

Get legal help
We offer free or low-fee legal support for a range of issues including leave to remain, citizenship applications, e-visas, and immigration advice.
Indefinite Leave to Remain should be affordable for everyone. Let’s change the rules
Right now, many migrants, including children and young people, who’ve lived in the UK for decades are being locked out of permanent residency simply because they can’t afford it. We’re asking for a fee waiver for people who simply can’t afford this cost.
