Story

Thank you for supporting our team in fundraising for the 20th anniversary of the London Legal Walk. We will be walking 10km on Tuesday 18th June alongside other members of the legal community to raise money to support our mission in helping whistleblowers across the UK.

In Protect’s 30th year we supported over 3,000 new whistleblowers, and our advisers had almost 20,000 phone calls and email exchanges with callers to our advice line. Each one of those interactions costs Protect about £30 and we need your help to raise funds to ensure we continue to provide the UK’s only free, confidential, legal advice service for whistleblowers.

Your support can keep vulnerable whistleblowers in work…

Anna raised concerns about the way service users were being treated and was sacked for gross misconduct. With Protect’s advice and using our templates, she appealed the dismissal decision and was reinstated with her full pay and benefits restored.

…or out of poverty ..

“[My employer] has agreed to settle - they accepted all of the terms I put forward. I am delighted with the result and want to express my gratitude for your invaluable assistance. I couldn't have achieved this without your help”

…give them the confidence they need to raise concerns…

“I feel on a much clearer path, I feel much more informed and that I know my options”

"It helped me better understand my rights and how to approach the problem, it gave me some hope as I didn't know where else to turn to for unbiased independent and confidential advice”

and support their mental wellbeing at a stressful time…

"I feel so much better for even just talking about this, thank you so much for your help”

”It is so helpful when you are in a situation like this to have someone to turn to for honest advice.'

“Thanks so much for all the help and information you gave me, I couldn't have got through that time without your help”
