Our Impact : In 2024–25 we supported 291 clients across 551 cases.

The most common matters were family reunion, EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), leave to remain and asylum support. Our help saved clients an estimated £486,800 in Home Office and solicitor fees. Demand continues to outstrip capacity—underscoring how essential this service is—but the impact is clear: people are regularising their status, reuniting with loved ones, and accessing housing, healthcare and education, building the stability to move forward with their lives across London.
