Who and How we help 

The Midlands Legal Support Trust is a local arm of the Access to Justice Foundation, the only national charity with a focus on funding and supporting access to justice across the UK. The way in which the Foundation helps accomplish this goal is by raising funds through events and distributing grants to charities that provide free legal advice and or representation for the community.

We raise funds and distribute them strategically to those advice agencies that can make the most difference to the lives of vulnerable people.

We fund Law Centres, local citizens’ advice, independent advice agencies, pro bono projects and national charities, which help to facilitate access to justice

Our current objectives are to:
​- Increase funding for the advice and pro bono sectors
- To build on the effectiveness of grant making on both a local and national scale
- To support the sector by providing leadership and encouraging collaboration

The Community Justice Fund

In 2021, the Foundation will be making the majority of its grants through the Community Justice Fund, a joint initiative created to support specialist social welfare legal advice organisations with the impact of COVID-19.

The Community Justice Fund is made up of contributions from a range of sources, including funds from independent foundations and donors.

Here listed are the organisations we have awarded the Community Justice Fund Grant across the Midlands, supporting their vital work in providing access to justice for all.
