The experience behind Fight My Corner: finding a way through a dispute when you are already carrying too much.
About Fight My Corner
Fight My Corner is the sister most people don't have.
Built by Machala and Sharon for the moments when holding a company, council or organisation to account feels impossible on your own.

Why we exist
Some fights take more out of you than they should.
Fight My Corner exists because of three councils, one relentless sister, and the hardest years of our lives.
Machala spent years fighting three local councils. What started as a dispute became a battle that took everything: her time, her energy, and her peace. In the middle of it, she lost her mum. There were points where she was too exhausted to keep going.
Sharon kept going.
When Machala couldn't fight any more, her sister made the calls, kept pursuing it, and kept saying: you're owed this. Don't stop.
Compensation was ultimately obtained from all three councils. But what stayed with Machala was not the win. It was the realisation that not everyone has someone willing to fight beside them when the hold music, automated replies and complaint forms become too much.
Everyone deserves someone in their corner.
Fight My Corner was created from that experience: a practical way to make the next step clearer when you are being fobbed off and need to understand what is really going on.
What we stand for
Clearer rights. More control. A stronger next step.
- Rights should be understandable.
- Ordinary people should be able to understand the rights that matter in a dispute.
- Important guidance should be traceable.
- We link important guidance to the legislation, regulators and official sources behind it where possible.
- You remain in control.
- You decide what to share, what to save and whether to take a next step after seeing the Fight Check.
- We make uncertainty visible.
- Fight My Corner helps separate what is supported from what still needs checking. It does not replace professional advice where that is needed.
