JCWI provides life-changing legal and practical support for people impacted by the UK government's hostile immigration policies. We desperately need your help to continue this work this Christmas.

Our government’s hostile immigration policies have life-or-death impacts on the people we work with. They illegally detain people in dangerously overcrowded camps. They force people out onto the cold streets to sleep rough. They pick up people in immigration raids and whisk them out of the country on deportation flights.

Suella Braverman is ramping up this cruelty. She has spoken of her Christmas ‘dream’ of seeing a flight deporting refugees to Rwanda. She is ruthless, but we are fighting back. Right now, we desperately need your help.

You can resist Suella’s cruel Christmas dream, and show people they are welcome

Help us pick up the phone to someone calling from a detention centre. Help us file an appeal against our client’s deportation order to a country they barely know. Help us book an emergency hotel room, send a supermarket voucher or get an electric heater when one of our clients has been failed by the Home Office. Every pound you donate today will help us support clients targeted by Suella’s hostile policies.

Please donate today, and help us fight back against Suella’s cruel anti-migrant plans.

£25 could pay for an electric heater to keep a family warm while we chase the landlord to fix their heating


£50 could fund an hour of emergency legal advice for someone facing deportation to Rwanda


£100 could cover a supermarket voucher so parents can cook warm, nutritious meals for their children


£200 could pay for relocation to a safe house for a mum and baby at risk of being trafficked

Day in, day out, we are supporting people in distress. We provide urgent legal advice to people illegally detained or facing deportation. And we have an emergency compassion fund for when our clients’ survival is at risk and they need something to eat, a roof over their head, an emergency dentist appointment. But funds are running low, and this Christmas, we need your help.

Please donate to our Emergency Christmas Appeal today

“For four years JCWI fought my case against the Home Office and eventually won. But their help towards me went beyond being lawyers, they bought formula for my baby when I had no money, they booked us a hotel for a few days when our asylum accommodation had no electricity or heating for days mid winter. I could write a book of their kind deeds. I look forwards to now starting our life here in the UK.” Michelle
