“Just for Kids Law has been so transformative for many of our young, marginalised young people, and the work they do is a vital lifeline for many of them. The work the teams undertake with such passion and determination to get a fair, and just result, whilst lobbying for parity and fairness is pivotal to making sustained changes. I joined the board as I am passionate about children and young people, equity, and justice”
