We all want there to be less crime in our local areas. But many people who have committed crimes become trapped in a cycle of criminal activity.
Restorative Justice can help to break this cycle and reduce reoffending, making our communities safer.

Last night, the Why me? team attended a powerful performance of 'Punch' the play followed by the post-show panel featuring our Ambassador Nick, Michael Palin and Calm Mediation's Julie Clark. Nick said "Before Restorative Justice I was a victim, but after, I felt like a survivor".
