Knowledge is Power; evidence

As part of our new series of workshops, we are holding a Knowledge is Power session on Evidence on 21st July 2026, 10am-1pm. This session was formed following our previous workshops about going to an appeal without a lawyer which we talked about with our community at the Radical Solidarity Hub session in April. The Evidence session forms the second part of this series, with the first session on Appeals being held on 25th June 2026.

Gathering, assessing and submitting evidence can be confusing, and more and more people are having to do this without lawyers. Evidence can take many forms - it could be a document or a report, or it could simply be your story written down and submitted as a statement. In our evidence session, we will go through the different types of evidence, when they might be useful, and how you might find and present them.

Now, more than ever, we need to take action as communities to support each other and prepare for an increasingly hostile immigration system. Understanding evidence can help someone to establish their right to remain in the UK, and having good evidence early on in a case can make a big difference. Our session will help you gain important and useful knowledge to navigate this complex system and provide legal support to others. Read more about solidarity through legal support here.

Please remember that we cannot give legal advice. The session is held online and will not be recorded.
