Why me? are a national charity which campaigns for and delivers Restorative Justice.
Restorative Justice empowers people affected by crime and other harmful behaviour to communicate with the person responsible, through a face to face meeting where appropriate, or indirect methods such as video shuttle or letter writing if preferable.
