Help Accessing Legal Support (HALS) is a programme of The Access to Justice Foundation with the Ministry of Justice. We are working with organisations to sustain and improve access to early social welfare and family legal advice, to enable users to resolve these problems as early as possible and avoid the need for court or tribunal proceedings where possible. Where court or tribunal proceedings are needed, we expect the grant will provide the support needed to help people manage their way through the process effectively. A key feature of this programme is expected to focus on helping us all understand what works better in terms of service delivery and also to help make the case for future investment in this work.

The Change It! project is unique. It is the only campaign led by children and young people which is focused on children being housed illegally in B&Bs. No other organisations are currently working on this issue in this way, despite the growing numbers of children being affected nationally. It is a crucial moment in the lifetime of the campaign and further funding from Comic Relief will capitalise on the work done to date which has successfully gained public attention and support from influencers and decision makers.Funding will enable Just for Kids Law to continue to support the steering group to convene to share ideas, support one another and plan further campaign activities through a residential trip and steering group meeting(s). They will also support the children to take the campaign to the next level by enabling them to meet and influence many more key decision makers such as ministers, parliamentarians (including relevant select committees), city mayors and local councillors and also to hold a national hub meeting as part of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child holding a Day of General Discussion on the theme of ‘children as human rights defenders.

Just for Kids Law provides advocacy, support and assistance to young people in difficulty; particularly those in trouble with the law, looked after children and those at risk of exclusion from school. These problems are sometimes made worse by the approach of local and national governments who do not uphold the rights of the child as enshrined in law. The project will work with marginalised children to hold policymakers and Government to account for policies and legislation which hold them back in life, for example denying them access to services to which they have a legal right, including education, stable accommodation or other essential support. It equips children with knowledge, skills and confidence to influence decision-makers to ensure children’s rights are better protected.

Overview
Just for Kids Law continue to grow in income and have expanded on their funding sources in 2018, most significantly through legal aid following a criminal legal aid contract commencing (total legal aid income accounting for £411,529).This increasing income is matched with a new three year strategic plan initiated in June 2018. The plan focuses on their individual case work replicated outside of London hoping to provide a wider evidence base of children and young people to fight for systemic reform. The charity have stated the significant external risks to funding are mitigated by a strategic fundraising plan aimed at ensuring income streams continue to be sustainable. Most projects are funded and administered as stand-alone projects which mean any funding concerns with one project will leave others unaffected.
The wide range of services JfKL provide and positive feedback from beneficiaries builds a confidence in their impact, with the large number of cases taken on by an experienced team. The strategic model and growth of funding only adds to the potential project improvements of the charity in the future.
