The Azra Kemal Legal Internship Programme
To make sure that people from Black, Asian and minoritised backgrounds have equal access to legal support and expertise, we need more representation in the legal profession.
What we do.
Many people who come to us feel as though they have hit rock bottom – whether that be through sustained trauma and abuse, mental illness and addiction or social exclusion and past offending. We will listen to you without judgment and work with you to address your immediate needs and longer term goals. Our service is ongoing, supportive and personal to you, exploring routes into housing, wellbeing, training and employment.
Plus, as an independent charity, we support people both directly and through referrals, and we work with a range of partner organisations to make sure you have access to everything you need.

How you can help RMVF.
WHAT WE DO
From supported housing and women’s refuges, to mental wellbeing, training and education, click on one of the links below for further information.
Women’s Refuges
The time is now.
We know there have been many difficult and complex reasons for staying. And we understand that the first step to safety is uncertain and frightening. You are no longer alone. We are here to support you.
Supported Housing
When you’re stuck in a vicious cycle, a safe home is often the first thing you need to break free. We know it can be tough to do it on your own, and we know that negative labels and life experiences can get in the way. We hear you – and that’s why you don’t need to do it alone.
Pastoral Care
We know that getting the keys to your own front door is just the start. It can sometimes feel daunting managing your home and independence – things that many people seem to take for granted. We hear you – and we won’t underestimate the significance of the steps you’re about to take.
Employment, Education & Training
Everyone needs purpose – a reason to get out of bed and a way of achieving a sense of reward and satisfaction. While employment is the obvious route, depending on your current needs and circumstances, we can also link you up with training and volunteering opportunities to give you back your confidence, develop your personal skills and build your self worth.
Whistleblowing and Advocacy 
Putting your head above the parapet can feel frightening and lonely – but you don’t need to do it alone. Whether you’ve witnessed wrongdoing in the workplace, or you’re personally dealing with a legal or social care challenge, we can offer free advice, support and, where appropriate, advocate on your behalf.
Consultancy
With many decades’ combined experience of social care, legal work, supporting vulnerable people, recovery and advocacy, we are able to offer businesses, local government departments and not-for-profit organisations a unique consultancy service.
