Support Through Court

Tomorrow our National Helpline appears on episode 1 of BBC Documentary: Darren McGarvey: The State We’re In. With a focus on Justice, Darren looks at our volunteers’ work to support people who must face civil and family courts without the help of lawyers. Darren hears directly from one of our clients who faced two sudden bereavements, followed by finding herself in a legal process.  “How on earth are you supposed to take on litigation, if you can’t afford it. The whole jargon of court papers, court documents, I struggled to understand what they were, and that’s very distressing, and very very frightening, if you’re now in this process, a legal process, and you don’t have a clue what these things mean but it’s tying you into something that has consequences.” Watch on BBC 2, 9pm. See us 29 minutes in.
