Each year we support more than 50,000 people across England & Wales.
RCJ Advice provides a lifeline to some of the most vulnerable in society by giving free legal advice to people facing court cases or legal issues, regardless of their financial situation. We ensure that everyone knows their options and has access to justice. We also support people more broadly with the justice system, including through our Miscarriage of Justice Support Service and our Time Together child contact centre.
Jenny's story
"When I met Ted, everything seemed perfect. I got pregnant soon after and was so excited to be expecting our first child, I thought he would be too. When I told Ted the happy news, everything changed. He held me down and shouted at me and when I struggled to get loose, he hit me. One day he returned home from work and told me that if I didn’t terminate the pregnancy, he would kill me and the child. I decided to run to my friend’s house. But Ted found my packed suitcase and pushed me down the stairs – injuring me badly and worst of all, losing my baby. When I was in hospital, I decided to tell my story to the nurse. I felt powerless, lost and scared but the nurse helped me plan to leave.
Through RCJ and their FLOWS domestic abuse legal advice service, I was able to access a solicitor and get a non-molestation order. Because of RCJ Advice, Ted can no longer come near me."
