The facilitators have been wonderful. I feel stronger than I did. I would really recommend Restorative Justice.
Burglary Victim
Thank you for the letter, it has made a real difference to how I feel about what happened
From victim of a criminal damage to vehicle where the offender wanted to write a letter which explained what he had been feeling at the time and how sorry he was now.
Thank you for the letter, it has made a difference to how I feel.
Georgia, Victim of Crime
Thank you for the update, I felt reassured that the offender has apologised and that her behaviour was subject to some reflection and accountability.
Linda, Victim of Crime
He's done what he has been asked to do (apologise for the harm caused) - I'm very happy with that.
Kieran, Victim of Crime
