HOW WE HELP

JUSTICE FOR ALL

OUR PURPOSE

We help victims of injustice with the support they need on every step of the journey. From the first time we speak to you or your family member, we can provide a range of support services to assist you on your justice journey.

Everyone’s situation is different, and so is our support and assistance. We work flexibly with each client based on meeting the best outcome for their individual circumstances as well as being deeply supportive to help minimise additional re-traumatisation.

  • Morning, I hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was a bit quiet I’m feeling a little bit down today, there is a lot of my past that I need to let go of and move on. So that I can start living my normal life, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me talk about my abuse, enjoy your day.

  • Thanks for your message, I am feeling a bit lost talking about my childhood. I am feeling overwhelmed by it all, I feel like someone is doing something about my past. I have never spoken to anyone about it before. I feel like now I’ve got a voice to talk about it thanks for your message, it has helped me more than you know.
