Initially established as a foodbank in March of 2020, we sought to alleviate hunger for people experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as demand grew and we adapted to the changing needs of those we supported, our services grew. We now provide food parcels to over 90 Northamptonshire schools, as well as other vital organisations such as the Northamptonshire Community Mental Health Teams, Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service, Northamptonshire Children's Trust, Northamptonshire Social Services, and Northamptonshire HM Prisons and Probation service. Since 2020, we have supported over 103,000 people with our food parcels alone. However, our foodbank is not the only service we offer. We also tackle social isolation and wellbeing with our three weekly social clubs, which target locally identified groups in need of this provision. These clubs take a focus on wellbeing, ensuring no member of the community is left struggling or alone. We offer a Minibus service for our club members, providing transportation to and from the clubs, picking them up from home and returning them after the sessions. We also use our minibus to take our club members on monthly trips to local attractions or places of interest. We also run our Doorstep Buddies program, which provides regular at-home visits to people who are socially isolated, giving them the opportunity to have a catch-up with someone. We offer a variety of other community welfare services that have an equally enormous impact on people's wellbeing. This includes home rimprovements for people suffering ill-health and bereavement and gardening services for those who may struggle to do so themselves. On top of this, we offer 1-1 guidance and support sessions with benefits and other welfare applications, and educational services including cookery and digital inclusion classes. The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation is a lifeline for hundreds in the Northamptonshire community, and many be in a very different position without our support. Since establishing as a charity back in 2020, we have offered invaluable aid to thousands, supporting them through times of immense struggle and hardship.

The International Legal Foundation assists countries emerging from conflict or transition to establish public defender systems that provide effective, quality criminal defense services to the poor. In 2003, the ILF opened Afghanistan's first independent public defender office in Kabul, and has since established public defender offices in Nepal and the West Bank. The ILF's mission is to assist post-conflict and transitional countries to establish public defender systems that provide quality and effective criminal defense services to the poor. In carrying out its mission, the ILF is driven by the belief that defense lawyers - as guardians of due process - are indispensible to any fair system of justice, and every person accused of a crime should have access to one. We work solely in countries emerging from conflict where governments have recognized the right to counsel and are committed to building a strong and fair system of justice, and aim to ensure that laws that guarantee the right to counsel are meaningfully implemented in ways that respect the historical, practical and cultural context of each country. The lack of qualified lawyers available to provide criminal defense representation to the poor is a serious problem in post-conflict and transitional countries. Many of these countries guarantee the right to counsel to persons accused of crimes in their constitutions and other domestic laws. Moreover, many have ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which requires them to ensure the right to counsel. Yet in practice, there are few defense lawyers for the poor in many developing countries. Those that do practice are often grossly unqualified. Without access to counsel there can be no rule of law and accused persons remain vulnerable to arbitrary detention, coerced and tortured confessions, wrongful convictions and other abuses. The ILF fulfills an essential role in post-conflict reconstruction. Although there is a growing focus on rule of law in post-conflict countries, rule of law projects have placed a heavy emphasis on rebuilding courts and law enforcement institutions and give little attention to the critical role of defense, particularly criminal defense services for the poor. The ILF addresses this need by providing indigent accused persons with access to competent, well-trained defense lawyers. This helps to ensure that laws and constitutional provisions protecting the rights of the accused are implemented and that all citizens have equal access to justice.
