Our Mission
A justice system under strain, and why early resolution matters.
Our mission rests on a simple idea: resolving disputes early and amicably reduces both the public cost and the human cost. The national numbers show why that matters now.
More people are turning to the courts, and the system is straining to keep up. County court claims rose 12% in a single year, and the tribunal backlog is at its highest in over a decade. Behind every one of those numbers is a person waiting for an outcome.
The figures below are national, system-wide statistics for England & Wales. They are not Advocacy Forever Network's own results.

That's where we're heading: helping matters resolve before they reach a courtroom, for the people involved and for the system as a whole.
