Clients are invited to attend an advice session - usually a Tuesday evening. Teams of qualified lawyers from Leeds law firms then help the client to prepare their case for hearing on a pro bono (free) basis under the supervision and guidance of specialist immigration barristers.

8 Volunteers ensure the smooth running of the sessions, carry out country information research, undertake administrative tasks at sessions and support the client through the process. We do not currently have resources to represent clients at the hearing itself. The Manuel Bravo Project. Cordelia House, 45 Westfield Rd, Leeds, LS3 1DG.
