Deadline: 27 January 2025
Applicants can now submit their applications for the Strategic Legal Funds Program.
The SLF supports strategic legal work in the UK which benefits asylum seekers, refugees and migrants. They define this as those:
- Who are living in poverty, and
- Who face significant disadvantage or discrimination in connection with their immigration status.
Eligible Funding
- Applications must be to fund one of two kinds of strategic legal work:
- the research and development of cases pre-litigation including: gathering evidence to test a hypothesis or research to establish authorities’ policy and practice, identifying potential plaintiffs/applicants/appellants; researching whether to proceed; translating relevant material; and evaluating a litigation strategy.
- third party “interventions” in existing cases, which allow a non-party intervener to assist the court in arriving in its decision in a case, acting as an amicus curia, a friend of the court.
Eligibility Criteria
- The SLF only supports strategic legal work carried out in the UK.
