Changed
The Forgiveness Project collects and shares stories from individuals who have rebuilt their lives following hurt and trauma. As part of our work we deliver RESTORE, an intensive, group-based programme, centred on the stories of victims and perpetrators of crime. Its overall aim is to contribute to the rehabilitation process for offenders, by preparing and supporting them emotionally to effect change in their lives both in the immediate and longer term.
It does this by:
1. Developing empathy by helping offenders understand the impact of their actions on others.
2. Opening offenders’ minds to an alternative way of viewing themselves and the world.
3. Practically supporting ex-offenders in their move away from crime and desire to make reparation.
4. Assisting victim recovery through witnessing and acknowledgement.
