Ministry of Justice written question – answered at on 23 June 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much funding his Department has provided to the charity Support through Court (a) in total since 2010 and (b) in each year since 2010.
The Ministry of Justice does not directly fund the charity Support through Court (StC).
Since 2015 Ministry of Justice has provided £10,550,000 in funding to the Litigants in Person Support Strategy. Of this, £4,204,046 has been awarded to StC. Since 2020, the Ministry of Justice has provided £3,100,000 in funding to the Legal Support for Litigants in Person grant. Of this, StC received £280,787 in their joint bid with RCJ Advice. Both grants are awarded to the Access to Justice Foundation to administer on behalf of the Department.
The information requested for the period 2010-2014, could not be obtained, as we do not hold this information centrally.
We recognise the pivotal role that the advice sector plays in providing legal support services, and we are currently assessing how best to support the sector going forward to deliver services in the most efficient and innovative ways possible, that will build on current evidence in relation to litigants in person.
