About Us

The Windrush Justice Clinic is a partnership made up of community organisations, law centers and universities striving to help victims of the hostile immigration environment receive the compensation they deserve.

Founding Partners

The founding partners include Southwark Law Centre and North Kensington Law Centre; Kings College University Legal Advice Clinic, the University of Westminster Legal Advice Clinic, London South Bank University Legal Advice Clinic; and community groups Claudia Jones Organisation, The Windrush Compensation Project and The Jigsaw House Society.

I am passionate about the work that we do in the WJC to achieve justice for people who have been subjected to the harsh and inhuman treatment that is a consequence of the racist policies and legislation that this country is and has historically been ruled by.

I co-founded the Windrush Justice Clinic with my inspiring colleagues because I want every victim of immigration injustice to receive fair compensation for their ill-treatment, and to help them with the wider negative impact of that treatment.

My parents inspired me growing up, they both gave so much to their community and instilled in me that its part of my duty to do the same. It takes a village to raise a child, I was that child, this is my village. Using my skills and knowledge to protect it, is the least I can do.
