The Legal Education Foundation

Last year, the Foundation distributed just over £5million through making grants and commissioning work via a range of mostly charitable organisations. We also use our expertise to influence others – for example, on the government’s use of personal data; the impact of unresolved legal problems on mental and physical health; and strengthening the evidence about effective access to justice. We are best known for the Just First Fellowship programme, which is helping to create a new generation of highly-skilled social justice lawyers.
