We welcome the appointment of Julie Wilkinson as Interim Chief Executive of Law Centre NI. With deep experience across the voluntary sector and a strong commitment to social justice, Julie steps in at a crucial time for rights-based legal support.

As we prepare to introduce our Impact Report this week, this is a timely reminder of how strong leadership helps turn the law into real change.

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience and contributions of migrants in our communities.

At LCNI, we stand with those who have travelled far from home, offering free, confidential advice to help people find safety, stability, and confidence in a new place.

Because:
Everyone deserves dignity.
Everyone deserves fair treatment.
Everyone deserves access to justice.

The right to claim asylum is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We're delighted to be hosting this introductory workshop as part of the NI Human Rights Festival on Wed 10th Dec.

On Monday, the Home Secretary announced the UK Government's proposed changes to the asylum system.

These policies will undermine protections refugees are entitled to under international law.

We're calling on @niexecutive to oppose these proposals.

Our colleague Portia, Legal Officer in our Immigration team, spoke to raise awareness of the immigration options available to victims of domestic abuse. We advise that survivors in these circumstances seek immigration legal advice to understand the options available to them.
