Lift Fund

Supporting locally led initiatives

The Lift programme enables local solutions to local issues through funding, technical advice, and support.

Courts can apply for Lift funding for locally-run development activities at any time. There is an annual budget however, so early applications are encouraged.

PJSP makes their assessment considering:

  • The topics covered in the activity

  • The location of the activity

  • The wider benefits at the local or regional level, including to people with limited access to justice

  • Alignment with PJSP's objectives

  • Sustainability considerations, i.e whether the opportunity would likely contribute to local delivery

  • Value for money

  • Who is providing the professional development opportunity

  • Connection to MERL outcome
