Restorative Justice can transform the recovery of victims of crime, and enable perpetrators to appreciate the harm they have caused and change their behaviour. But not enough people affected by crime have the opportunity to consider Restorative Justice.
From this time next week, all donations that we receive will be DOUBLED as part of our #SmallCharityWeek campaign with The Big Give. If you appreciate the work of Why me? and want to support a small charity, please donate next week to make a real difference to our work.
