We are caseworkers, paralegals, and advocates working alongside communities who have been failed by a system that was never built for them. Pro bono. Rights-based. Rooted in solidarity, not charity.
We coordinate the medical evacuation of Palestinians from Gaza who cannot access the specialist treatment they need. Case intake, hospital outreach, visa applications, and pastoral support - every step, with every family.
Criminal, family, housing, benefits - our community casework is currently paused except for urgent enquiries, with our team focused on the Gaza evacuation pipeline. We signpost all immigration matters to accredited partner organisations while we complete IAA recertification.
We are not looking for people who need convincing. If you understand why solidarity and charity are different things, we want to hear from you.
Al-Adli Justice is a pro bono legal casework and advocacy organisation operating across England and Wales. Our team is made up primarily of caseworkers and paralegals - people who entered this work because the gap between communities and the legal system was too wide to leave unfilled.
We are actively building a network of solicitors and individual legal practitioners committed to rights-based practice. We do not charge fees. We never have.
We are clear-eyed about the broader landscape. Much of the third sector - the charity industrial complex included - functions to manage and contain the effects of systemic injustice rather than to challenge it. We do not position ourselves within that sector. We work alongside individuals and organisations where interests align, and we name the tension where they do not.
"Justice, not charity. Rights, not grace."The operating principle of Al-Adli Justice
The name Al-Adli is drawn from one of the names of Allah SWT - Al-Adl, the Just, the Equitable. It is not a gesture towards identity. It is a statement of what this organisation is for, and what standard it holds itself to.
We operate on the understanding that communities under legal pressure do not need people who feel sorry for them. They need people who know the system, are willing to challenge it, and will stay beside them through the length of a process that was designed to be exhausting.
Solidarity
Standing with someone inside their situation. Recognising that your interests and theirs are connected. Building trust over time, not extracting gratitude in the moment.
Charity
Standing above someone and offering help from that position. Maintaining a distance that confirms rather than challenges the conditions that produced the need in the first place.
This distinction shapes everything we do - who we recruit, how we take instructions, the language we use with clients, and the structures we put in place. It is not a philosophical preference. It is the only way this kind of work can be done well.
Our work takes two forms. Both are urgent. Both are ongoing. Both are held to the same standard: that people come first, that rights are non-negotiable, and that no one should be abandoned inside a process designed to outlast them.
Palestinians in Gaza are living with medical conditions - some of them critical - that cannot be treated within a healthcare system that has been systematically dismantled. We coordinate the legal, logistical, and pastoral pathway that allows patients to reach specialist treatment in the United Kingdom and beyond.
This is not emergency response. It is sustained, complex casework carried out with precision and care, often over months, for patients and families who are navigating the process from inside an active conflict zone.
The estimated waitlist across Gaza currently stands at over 20,000 people. Very few organisations are actively coordinating medical evacuations. The gap between need and capacity is severe, and it is where we work.
Current active cases include ophthalmology, renal, and oncology patients. Each case is different. Each family deserves the same standard of care.
Many people who need legal help cannot access it. Legal aid is restricted, solicitors are overwhelmed, and the system is not designed to be navigated alone. We are the bridge.
Our community casework is currently paused except for urgent enquiries while our team is focused on the Gaza evacuation pipeline. We are committed to returning to this work fully as capacity allows.
Immigration matters - including asylum, leave to remain, and family reunion - are currently referred to accredited partner organisations while we complete IAA recertification. We will signpost anyone who contacts us to the right support.
This work is the foundation the organisation was built on, and it remains central to what Al-Adli Justice is for.
Whether you have skills to offer or resources to contribute, there is a place for you here - as long as you understand what this organisation stands for.
Our current recruiting drive is focused primarily on Gaza medical evacuation casework - case intake, hospital liaison, documentation, and pastoral support. We are also open to people interested in community legal casework as that strand of work returns.
This is not a formal application process. It is the start of a conversation. Write to us with a short overview of your relevant experience and - most importantly - your understanding of what Al-Adli Justice stands for and the distinction we draw between solidarity and charity.
This covers flights, accommodation, legal fees, visa costs, and psychological support on arrival. It does not include the cost of medical treatment itself - hospital treatment is coordinated separately through charitable organisations and larger institutional donors.
Donated funds are held and disbursed by an independent committee of overseers, not by Al-Adli Justice directly. This committee is responsible for allocating funds to specific cases and ensuring accountability throughout. Caseworkers volunteer their time and are reimbursed expenses only.
If you cannot contribute the full amount, smaller donations still matter - they are pooled and allocated as complete evacuations become ready to proceed.
The most valuable thing many people can do is connect us with the right people - solicitors willing to supervise, hospitals open to receiving patients, or communities who may not know what support is available to them.
If you think you know someone we should be in conversation with, reach out. The work is built on exactly those kinds of connections.
Write to us and a person will read it and write back - with a link to our intake form, which is accessible on mobile and available in both English and Arabic.
"We did not build this organisation to be impressive. We built it because the need was there, and not enough people were meeting it."
