About Support Through Court

Every year, thousands of people in the UK face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, they must represent themselves at a moment that could determine the rest of their life.

We stand with those who have nowhere else to turn. We provide a free service across England and Wales, offering support and guidance before, during, and after court. We make sure people facing court are not alone and help them navigate a complex legal system with dignity and self-assurance. Our volunteers help clients put their thoughts in order, so they are clear about the court process and so that they can best represent themselves.   

Leaving a legacy

We want to be here to support people going through court alone for generations to come. We’ll keep supporting those who, often unexpectedly, end up in court. Those about to be evicted. Those at risk of being separated from their children. Those who are struggling with mental ill health. But we need help to ensure we can continue well into the future. Your legacy will ensure no one goes through court alone.

By entrusting us with your legacy, we will:

  • Provide practical and emotional support for people facing court without a lawyer, for generations to come.
  • Help people to have a fair hearing, giving them access to justice.
  • Make a difference not only for individuals, but for the entire justice system.
