JCWI provides life-changing legal and practical support for people impacted by the UK government's hostile immigration policies. We desperately need your help to continue this work.

Our government’s anti-migrant rules are tearing families apart, preventing vulnerable people from accessing healthcare and stopping people from getting even the most basic essentials. We need your help to fight back.

Suella Braverman’s attacks on migrants, calling them “invaders” and saying she “dreams” of deporting refugees to Rwanda, have fuelled the far right. Just a few weeks ago, we saw a vicious attack on an asylum hotel in Liverpool. But we are fighting back. And right now, we desperately need your help.

You can resist Suella’s toxic narrative and help us fight back against the far right, to create a country that is welcoming to all.

Help us provide a safe hotel room for someone. Help us send blankets to families in accommodation without any resources. Help us pay for an electric heater to keep a family warm while we chase the accommodation provider. Every pound you donate today will help us support clients targeted by Suella’s hostile policies.

Please chip in today, to help us reach more people with life-changing legal support.

£10 could pay for blankets for a family in accommodation without any resources

£25 could help us provide an hour of life-changing legal advice to keep mums with their children

£50 could cover phone credit for 60 days, so families can contact their solicitor from accommodation

£100 could pay for essential groceries and an electric heater to keep a mum and baby warm and fed while we chase their accommodation provider to fix the heating

£200 could provide safe emergency accommodation in a hotel for a family facing street homelessness

Every day, our lawyers support people in need. We provide urgent legal advice to people illegally detained or facing deportation. We provide support through our emergency compassion fund for when our clients’ survival is at risk and they need food for their children, a roof over their heads or phone credit to access life-changing legal advice, we make sure they get it. But funds are running low, and we need your help.

Please donate to our Emergency Family Appeal today

Our client Lisa, a young mother from Brazil, was struggling to gain status and deal with precarious housing. But our legal team got to work, and now she and her two young children have secure status. Along the way, we made sure they had a roof over their heads and access to support. Now, they have a chance to live and thrive as part of their local community. Please chip in so we can continue this work, and help more families stay together and escape the nightmare of the Hostile Environment.

We know times are tough, so if you are not able to donate right now, could you help us spread the word by sharing this page on social media?

Thank you.
