Public benefits

The direct benefit that flows from this purpose is the promotion of peaceful, non-violent and innovative approaches to the issue of criminal justice in local communities within Northern Ireland through restorative practice. This involves helping local communities, particularly within areas of disadvantage, to make connections and forge partnerships

with the formal justice sector, and promotes a restorative-based approach within the formal justice system and other organisations which seeks to fix the broken relationships between victims, offenders and communities. This benefit is demonstrated through increased engagement between communities and the justice system, increased willingness by local communities to participate in mediation as a means to resolve conflict, improved community safety, and independent inspection of the charity's work by regular evaluation. There is no harm from any of the purposes. The beneficiaries of this purpose are victims of crime and anti-social behaviour who receive support and restitution, offenders who have been encouraged to confront the harm that has been caused by their actions and to make amends, and communities where residents can feel safer and have greater confidence in the administration of justice. There are no private benefits related to the purposes.
