#WinOfTheWeek This week Anna Power demonstrates exactly what FRU is about. She gave her client the best shot at making his case. She demonstrated her skills and the judge said she'd done a great job. #AccessToJustice is the winner. You can support this work now at: www.thefru.org.uk/donate

#WinOfTheWeek this week are our amazing student volunteers. Each year they give thousands of hours of their time to represent clients who otherwise would be heading to daunting tribunal hearings alone. Thanks to all our student volunteers! #WeDoProBono #SVW2026

We look forward to welcoming our next set of volunteers in April and May. You can't book on to this training yet. #WeDoProBono

www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u... New Senior President of Tribunals annual report published. The report acknowledges the work of the ELAAS scheme and pro bono representation for applicants to the EAT by FRU volunteers. Fantastic to hear the value of our work for the tribunal system. #WeDoProBono

Wow ELA how can we thank you enough for this support! #WeDoProBono #EmpLaw #EmploymentLaw

#WinOfTheWeek this week is the ongoing contribution of Daniel Hallström from @oldsquarechambers.bsky.social to our work. Thanks Daniel - this week you were reviewing and drafting EAT appeal grounds, we've no doubt that next week you'll be contributing in another way. #EmploymentLaw

Stand by for an exciting announcement about our Annual General Assembly on 30 October...

#WinOfTheWeek is celebrating the legacy of Emma Wilkinson from her work over the past 3 years, as she leaves as our employment law lead this week. We're pleased to still be working with Emma in her role as Director of the Employment Law Advice Network. Bon voyage and au reviour Emma!

The Secret Barrister’s done a thriller! And an excellent one. Five stars. Audiobook is excellent! @barristersecret.bsky.social

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article.... This is incredibly concerning. Independent scrutiny of the court system was abolished on the pretext it wasn't necessary. Time for an inquiry into this issue, and for independent scrutiny to be reinstated. Justice is too important to society to operate in the dark.

We have the greatest friends and supporters - thanks to everyone. This money will make a massive difference to our service.

We have some amazing supporters who put their support into action time and time again.

I'll be on the registration desk if anyone would like to say hello later. It's a very big day for us because I'm also off to The Lawyer Awards tonight where we're the charity partner. I'm even presenting an award!

The FRU employment legal test results are OUT! Well done if you passed, we look forward to working with you soon. Commiserations if you didn't and we hope that you will take the test again when you are able to. #WeDoProBono

Yes, huge thanks to all the fantastic people who work for free to provide #AccessToJustice for people who can't afford legal representation. Each year volunteers give thousands of hours to help their clients. #VolunteersWeek

www.legalservicesconsumerpanel.org.uk/blog/regulat... My valedictory blog for the @lsconsumerpanel.bsky.social. It was fulfilling to be on the inside of debates across the legal sector about consumer needs. Good luck to the Panel for its future work.
