Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document
To provide access to justice for people in
detention and those liable to be detained.
This is done through the provision of
information and advice, legal
representation, advocacy, and research.
Summary ofthe main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
seniices identified in the
accounts.
Para 1.17 and
1.19
The Intervene Project relies on one full-time
employed Manager and up to 17 volunteer
caseworkers to provide our clients with
legal advice and representation on a pro
bono basis. We currently support around
108 prisoners (March 2025) who attest they
have faced abuse or neglect whilst in
custody.
We typically correspond with clients via
letter and telephone conferences. We
regularly gather evidence, correspond with
potential defendants, draft Letter's Before
Action, send Freedom of Information and
Subject Access Request's, and write to the
establishment on the prisoner's behalf.
We strive to secure our clients
compensation and settlements at the pre-
action stage where possible. Where
necessary, we will issue County Court
claims on behalf of our client.

Para 1.38
Much of the casework undertaken by the
Intervene project IS Gompleted by our
Manager and 17 volunteers. The
volunteers are typically law students who
apply to work with us. Our clients gain the
benefit of the pro bono caseworkers, legal
knowledge, whereas the volunteers
experience the day-to-day management of
a variety of civil law cases. The
experiences the volunteers gain often aids
their employability into future careers as
solicitors and barristers.
Additionally, we are working with research
students to raise awareness of the issues
our clients face by way of a research paper
and developing a regular blog to further
promote the work undertaken.

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Summary ofthe main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Paro 1.20
The volume of casework and clients
Intervene takes on is exponentially
increasing, due to the extent of demand for
our services. We strive to assist all clients,
whether referred to us from Kesar & Co
Solicitors or who approach us directly,
provided their case falls within our ambit
and they can demonstrate a degree of
financial need. We anticipate the need for
our service will continue to increase due to
the frequency of abuses within the prison
system and the cost-of-living crisis.
Intervene has once again increased its
volunteer intake over the past year. The
Charity is never short of applications from
talented law students who wish to offer
their legal knowledge to our clients. Our
volunteers t
icall
remain with us for an

average of three months, and usually only
leave once they have secured a paid legal
position elsewhere..
The Manager is responsible for assessing
all correspondence and casework
produced by the volunteers before it is sent
out. Intervene also continues to allow
volunteers to apply their knowledge to live
cases and to gain experience of active
case management.
We have had success in a variety of
matters, helping clients receive improved
dental care, healthcare and mental
healthcare in prison, regain property
improperly retained by police forces and
prison staff, receive compensation
payments for lost property and medical
negligence, gain appropriate prison
employment, secure transfers to alternative
prisons, appeal adjudications, be placed on
rehabilitation courses, stop obstructions to
their communications with family and legal
representatives, and issue claims in the
County Court that have led to substantial
Part 36 offers. In each case we take on, we
defend our client's human rights. Pursuing
these cases can help drive reform in prison
policy such that the circumstances giving
rise to abuses or neglect will not be
repeated.
The charity has focussed most of its efforts
on the pre-action stages of claims. Thus,
we have submitted numerous LBAS, and
regularly send detailed correspondence to
Governors outlining the various injustices
faced by our clients. We have taken many
cases to the Prison and Probation
Ombudsman for investigation. Further,
when we deem the merits of a case justify
litigation, we issue Gases in the county
Gourts. We have instructed medical experts
and barristers to help in some cases.
Throughout the process safeguarding and
safer custody are of the upmost importance
and immediate steps are taken to ensure
their wellbeing is maintained. We engage
with adult social care and the independent
advocacy providers to ensure their
statutory rights around care and treatment
areu
held. This further hel
s with the
re-

action stages of a claim and quite often will
help to resolve the immediate situation
effectively.
Inteniene continues to employ a full-time
manager to manage the charity, casework,
and volunteers. This has enabled an
increase in the volume of clients the
Charity is able to take on. It has also
allowed Intervene to expand its research
and awareness raising to the promote the
improvements required within the legal aid
sector. Shorter blogging posts are being
collated to promote current issues as they
arise, and the project hopes to launch this
in the upcoming year.
