JustRight Scotland wants Scotland to be a place where everyone’s human rights are a reality, where everyone has access to justice, and where systems are fixed when they get in the way of this. JustRight Scotland was set up in 2017 by a small team of human rights lawyers. We use the law to defend and extend people’s rights in Scotland. We now run four specialist centres of legal practice. Our lawyers and caseworkers provide advice, representation and support to hundreds of people every year. Our policy, communications and participation team extends the reach of our legal work, building collaborative campaigns and partnerships, working alongside people with lived experience of the issues we work on, influencing policy makers, and producing accessible information about human rights and the legal system.
Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
