Fundraise for us!

The first thing we do, is listen. When someone knows they are heard, then they are open to change.

We look at the causes and effects of attitude, behaviour and actions of people affected by crime, exploring new ways of thinking and making choices. We look for the Reasons Why people offend and help them to find their own alternatives which do not cause negative outcomes.We give people the opportunity to share their own thoughts, beliefs and experiences in a safe environment, in complete confidence where they know they are being listened to, heard and valued. Here the change begins.

Why the community needs us

Our programme helps the people we support to shape their future, rejoining communities that they have grown distant to. With the skills and resources acquired from working with us, they learn to be positive role models to others & contributory members of their communities. We also help communities to better understand these estranged people, through information and experience sharing at our community celebration events. The future of our communities relies upon effective cohesion.

Our impact on the community

Since 2012 we have worked with over 250 adults across London who have experienced difficulties in their lives as a comsequence of their offending background. Our service users have less than a 5% recidivism rate and 92% reported a considerable increase in their sense of well being and confidence in moving forward in their lives without re-offending or anti-social behaviour. We see these outcomes as significant and strive to learn more in order to provide greater impact.

Volunteers needed

We have exciting opportunities to mentor the young people we support and for being involved in the operation and development of the foundation.
