Thank you for supporting our team as we take part in the 2026 London Legal Walk.  

On Tuesday 9th June, we will be walking 10km to help raise funds so that people in need can access life‑changing free legal advice. 

Our team is Charlotte, Clara, Cristina, Danyal, Hiyasmin, Elisa, Jen, John, Hiyasmin, Kate, Lina, Mahi, Marco, Maud, Michelle, Saria, 

By taking part, we are raising funds through the London Legal Support Trust, which has pledged to donate 100% of what we raise. This means every pound you give will go directly to Bail for Immigration Detainees. 

Bail for Immigration Detainees is an independent charity that provides free legal advice, information and representation to people in detention, as well as challenging the system through research, policy advocacy and strategic litigation. 

One person supported by BID shared their experience: 

“Our lives were turned upside down when my husband was taken to Yarl’s Wood Detention Centre. At that point, I had absolutely no hope. I didn’t know what to do or where to turn.” 

For their children, the impact was devastating: 

“They were waiting for Dad to pick them up, and he didn't turn up because he'd been detained. For months, they lived with anxiety looking out the window, asking, ‘Where’s Daddy gone?’” 

With BID’s support, that family was reunited: 

“Somebody told my husband about BID. I quickly contacted them. Honestly, I cannot put into words how effective they were, and how much they cared.” 

“Without any stigma, without any judgment, they did what they felt was right, which was to reunite the family.” 

“It was utter sheer relief when he walked through the door. My daughter said, ‘Mum, you screamed. It was so exciting to see Dad.’” 

“I will never forget the compassion the BID team showed. It was like they were fighting for a member of their own family. They changed my children’s lives. They changed our lives.” 

Stories like this show what BID makes possible. 

Every donation helps fund legal advice, representation, and the work needed to challenge detention and bring families back together. 

Your support helps ensure no one has to face detention alone. If you’re able to, please support our team today to help reunite more families. 

Thank you for your support.
