Posted on: 2nd, June 2024

Monday 3rd June to Sunday 9th June 2024 is Volunteers’ Week, a time to celebrate the amazing contributions of our volunteers.

Our trained volunteers are essential in helping us deliver Restorative based programs, and their dedication helps us provide our service to even more people and bring those involved in crimes into communication in a safe, mediated environment.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to learn new skills, meet new people and give back to your local community. Restorative Justice can have a multitude of benefits for those involved in crimes, including helping them get answers to questions they may have following a crime, gaining closure and moving on. Volunteering has been shown to improve volunteers' wellbeing too! If you’re interested in a volunteering role with our organisation, please get in touch to find out more.

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.
