Justice Together is offering grants of between £90,000 – £200,000 for individual applications and £200,000 – £500,000 for multiple organisation partnerships/collaborations, for up to three years funding. Their Influencing Grants Programme aims to work with individuals and organisations in every part of the UK to develop a shared strategy for transforming access to justice in the immigration system. By ‘influencing’ they mean work that is focused on changing systems or structures. The target may be local or national government, statutory agencies, legal services and/or the public. It may be focused on changing draft legislation, regulations or guidance, government practice, public opinion and/or to improve the quality of advice and representation. They particularly welcome applications from organisations that are led and/or informed by people with lived and learned experience of the UK immigration system. Applications will close at 5pm on the 21st of March. To apply or for more information, please visit the Trust website.
