What’s funded
Strategic legal work that benefits disadvantaged migrant children and young people (under 25) living in poverty and facing significant disadvantage or discrimination due to their immigration status.

Two types of strategic legal action are funded:
-
Pre-litigation research and case development, including evidence gathering, policy research, identifying potential applicants, translation, and litigation strategy development
-
Third party interventions in existing cases, where organisations act as an amicus curiae to assist the court
How much
