Has your family been affected by the Post Office Horizon system?

Are you a child of a Subpostmaster?

Please contact us if you are:

  • An adult child or dependent (over 18), whose parents/ partners were Subpostmasters and affected by the Horizon system.

  • A parent or guardian with a child under the age of 18 whose parents were Subpostmasters and affected by the Horizon system.

We are a group with a mission to redress the chances that were taken from us growing up.

Post Office Horizon Family Member Redress Scheme

Close relatives to be compensated for impact on lives

Pre-registration for the Horizon Family Member Redress Scheme is now open, allowing eligible family members affected by the Post Office Horizon scandal to secure priority consideration when the scheme formally launches.

The scheme is expected to provide compensation for close relatives who experienced harm as a result of the impact the Horizon scandal had on a family member.

While full details of eligibility, compensation levels and the claims process are still being finalised, completing the Government's pre-registration will help ensure your application is included at the earliest opportunity.

Read more about Horizon Family Member Redress Scheme eligibility, the claims process, key dates and the latest updates on the Family Member Redress Scheme.

Help us with our mission

We are a group with a mission: to redress the chances that were taken from us when we were growing up, by the actions of Post Office and Fujitsu.

On the Help Us page, you can find the range of opportunities that we have lost. Hopefully with funding we can go some way to regaining some of those lost chances.
