The project seeks to address the acute shortage of good quality immigration lawyers who are able to work within low-income communities to:-
- explain people’s legal rights to them in a clear and meaningful way, and help them to exercise those rights
- assist community organisations to understand key legal issues and to maximise the impact of the help they provide to their beneficiaries
- provide training and support to promote good practice.
