Justice First
The core purpose of Justice First is to work with people seeking asylum whose appeals have been rejected by the Home Office; seeking to help them re-engage with the legal system and avoid destitution by researching and helping to submit further evidence or a fresh claim, either directly or via immigration solicitors. We offer practical and emotional support; utilise volunteer befrienders and deliver refugee awareness training, presentations and talks. We are a unique service in the North East and work closely with, and refer people to other supportive organisations as appropriate. JUSTICE FIRST IS A CHARITY FORMED IN 2006 WORKING WITH PEOPLE IN THE TEES VALLEY WHO ARE SEEKING ASYLUM.
