We’re a networking centre seeking to raise awareness of restorative practice and to promote collaboration among practitioners and restorative justice supporters.

We run events and training to further knowledge and understanding of restorative approaches and their uses in a variety of settings.

thrivin’ together cic is a woman-led, lived-experience organisation dedicated to supporting women impacted by their own or someone else's gambling.

Founded by women with personal experience, thrivin’ together’s mission is to offer “choice, voice and change” for women across the UK . This means creating a safe space where women can seek help without stigma, make informed choices, and actively shape the services they receive. The organisation operates on principles of co-production and lived experience, ensuring that women who have lived through gambling harm are at the heart of designing and delivering support programs.

thrivin’ together provides advice, peer support, referrals, and opportunities for women to rebuild confidence, connect with others, and ultimately thrive both as individuals and as a community

Unlock Drama (UD) has over eight years’ experience working across the criminal justice system, delivering in more than 30 prisons with groups including sex offenders, young offenders, women vulnerable prisoners and foreign nationals.

Prisons we work within include: HMPYOI Swinfen Hall, HMYOI Brinsford and HMP Send etc.

UD utilises creative methods, which offers a unique tool that encourages teamwork, confidence, communication skills, motivation, organisation, listening skills, leadership, resilience and more. UD deliver creative projects closely linked to rehabilitation and focuses on addressing dominant concerns within the prison estate such as Engagement in activities, Substance Misuse and Debt.

UD also delivers issue-based theatre within the community working with participants such as: recovering drug addicts, homeless, young people at risk of offending and ex-offenders.

We are a newly founded CIC who are working towards creating The Unseen Victims Project. This initiative has been created due to the founder writing a book discussing the very seldom discussed problems associated with suddenly finding yourself supporting a person either accused of or jailed for their criminality. The projects scope and ambition is to offer a dedicated telephone line and heavy promotion of the various platforms to access information and advice where members of the public can access real time information and not rely on social media groups. The CICs founders have over 30's combined lived and learned experience of the multifaceted problems that loved ones face. The stigma attached to supporting loved ones through a prison journeys as real as it ever was. The Ministry of Justice place a huge amount of emphasis on strong family bonds being instrumental to successful rehabilitation, yet very little support is actually available. We want to change this...

I teach self-esteem and confidence to children, young people, and women, in schools, groups, organisations, and one to one.
