JUSTICE is an all-party law reform and human rights organisation working to strengthen the justice system in the United Kingdom. We work to make legal procedures fairer, more efficient and effective and more accessible. We deploy the expertise of our membership to undertake high-quality, evidence-based research to reimagine how the system can and should work differently and create practical recommendations for reform. We put users’ experiences at the heart of our work We recognise that many aspects of the existing structure and practises within the justice system compound exclusion for disadvantaged people. JUSTICE commands respect across the political spectrum, and we have representatives from each of the main political parties on our advisory Council. Our work touches the lives of people across the UK who deserve the protection of a strong justice system. JUSTICE is currently working on reform of benefits decision-making, proposing a more child-centred approach to separating families and reform of the parole system. We are also at the forefront of efforts to protect the ways in which courts hold governments to account, protecting the operation of judicial review and the Human Rights Act.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 23 April I will in Morocco for the Marathon des Sables, a 6 day self-sufficient race of over 156 miles across the Sahara Desert, carrying a 8.5kg rucksack containing all my provisions for the journey.

It been gruelling training over the last 8 months, with me running over 900km this year so far. Hoping this year will be better than my last attempt in 2021 which ended with me catching a sickness bug that spread through the camp and resulted in half the competitors having to drop out.

If anyone did want to support me by making a donation, I am raising money for JUSTICE, an all-party reform and human rights charity working to strengthen the justice system in the United Kingdom. I am a trustee of JUSTICE and have seen first hand the work that the organisation does to make legal procedures fairer, more efficient and effective and more accessible. Any donations will be put to a very worthwhile and good cause. Further information about JUSTICE can be found here: https://justice.org.uk/
