Double your donation to our bail solidarity fund
We are hoping to raise £15,000 for our advice line which answers over 7,000 calls a year from people in detention.
Across the UK thousands of people each year are locked up in removal centres & prisons under immigration powers. Hidden from the public eye, ‘migrants’, including many people who were born or raised in the UK or have lived here for decades, are torn away from their families & locked up indefinitely.
Isolated & terrified of deportation, they face an exhausting battle against the Home Office to fight for their liberty & prove their right to remain in the UK - often with no legal advice at all.
This means your contribution will have twice the impact in helping us reunite families separated by detention, and secure the release of vulnerable people, ensure access to the fundamental human right of liberty.
BID provides free legal advice and representation to help people apply for bail and appeal their deportation. We do so through our advice line and casework projects while campaigning to abolish immigration detention entirely.
In the words of our client:
“BID brings sanity to people, they give hope. You have somebody who cares. You have hope that no matter what you’re not alone. They make you feel like you’re human."
