Support The Claudia Jones Organisation provide legal advice to the Windrush Generation

I'm finally running the London marathon on the 3 October 2021! Yup, that's right, THE LONDON MARATHON!!! I'm raising money for The Claudia Jones Organisation - they helped set up a free legal advice team for those directly affected by the Windrush Scandal and the ongoing struggle to get compensation. I'm doing this for the Black Caribbean community, who were invited to the UK to work, only for some to have that hard work thrown back in their faces and the many who were misclassified as illegal immigrants despite paying taxes and residing in this country for decades. Some of the Caribbean community affected by this scandal were deported, detained, lost their jobs or homes, had their passports confiscated or were denied benefits or medical care to which they were entitled. To date only one in six victims have received payment in full, more than two years on from the launch of the scheme aimed at compensating Britons. The system of gaining compensation is complicated and beset by problems and in order for those affected to receive the compensation they deserve they must negotiate a complicated system and this is why your donation is needed to support the crucial work of the legal team.
