Magna Carta Committee joins forces with Access to Justice Foundation

The Access to Justice Foundation (AJF) has partnered with the Magna Carta 800th Commemoration Committee for 2015 and will be helping to run events.

The AJF’s annual programme of Legal Support Trust fundraising events will also have a Magna Carta focus, highlighting some of its most important legal clauses, with the money going to support access to justice charities. The AJF is dedicated to distributing funds so that those in need of legal assistance but unable to afford it can gain access to justice.

Sir Robert Worcester, Chair of the Committee, says the Magna Carta “enshrined the rule of law” in England and Wales, and that “the 800th anniversary of the ‘Great Charter’ is not only an opportunity to commemorate its impact in our country and abroad, but to also to make a practical difference to the lives of thousands of people”.
