About RJ4All
Restorative Justice for All (RJ4All) is a charitable, user-led international institute with a vision of a world that embraces the restorative justice values, and where power abuse is no longer. We pursue our vision by using the power of dialogue, education, sports and art, as well as the practices and values of restorative justice such as power sharing, fairness, equality, dignity and respect.
RJ4All has a mission to address poverty and advance equality, community cohesion and human rights. We pursue our mission by delivering social justice and poverty relief projects, educational programmes and youth clubs, intercultural dialogue, internships and high-quality volunteering opportunities to the most marginalised groups of society. As part of our mission, we set off on a journey to build the world's first restorative justice post-code creating an evidence-based case study for other to follow.
