If you have concerns around UK citizenship, some of the organisations Path to Papers works with who may be able to offer support are listed below.

Kids in Need of Defence UK

KIND UK is a non-profit collaboration between five law centres and non-profit immigration advice providers, with the goal of obtaining citizenship or leave to remain for eligible children.

KIND UK’s constituent organisations are:

• Central England Law Centre (Coventry and Birmingham area)
• Islington Law Centre (London)
• Coram Children’s Legal Centre (London, children only)
• Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (Manchester, immigration issues only)

Law centres

Law centres provide free legal advice and representation to people who need it; most provide immigration advice to both adults and children.

The Law Centres Network is a federation of multiple law centres and maintains a directory of law centres in other locations.
