The Criminal Appeals Fund was born out of a need to improve the legal aid sector and overhaul the criminal justice field in the UK. We are an organisation that provides a platform for legal professionals to obtain funding for their cases. In doing so, our aim is to provide a more streamlined process when other avenues have been exhausted. Our screening process looks to find cases with merit and the potential to transform the criminal justice field. We want to provide those caught up in an unfair system the opportunity to have a second chance.
