Sistren Legal Collective is a community of lawyers working at the intersection of law, grassroots organising and movement-building.
Their new toolkit, published in July 2025, “Just Words: A Simple Guide to Common Legal Words used in the UK Charity & Non-Profit Sector” is designed to help community organisations, particularly those led by and for refugee and migrant communities in the UK, navigate complex legal language.
The toolkit includes a glossary of common terms used in the VCS, defined in their legal context.
It is written in English and translated into Arabic, Tigrinya, and Spanish, with community review to ensure accessibility.
