NWJC welcomes three new ‘Friends’ to support and align with our work

We remain committed to working closely with likeminded organisations, alliances and coalitions that share our values and are striving to improve outcomes for people in contact with the criminal justice system,

To that end, we’re delighted to welcome and recognise three more organisations as ‘Friends of the National Women’s Justice Coalition‘ in November 2024.

The Better Justice Partnership has been convened to increase government support for early intervention and diversion by building an alliance to advocate for evidence-based policymaking. The Partnership aims to improve public safety by tackling high re-offending rates and the disproportionate criminalisation of people facing multiple disadvantage and racial inequality. It also seeks to improve responses and support for young people before they get caught up in offending and when they first have contact with the justice system.

As a national charity, Changing Lives helps people facing the most challenging of circumstances make positive change – for good. Changing Lives believes that everyone deserves a safe home, a rewarding job and a life free from addiction or abuse, and that given the right support, anyone can change their life for the better. Changing Lives women’s provision includes dedicated gender specific accommodation; VAWG services for domestic abuse and sex work and sexual exploitation; and criminal justice early intervention, diversion schemes and commissioned rehabilitation services.

Revolving Doors champions long-term solutions for justice reform that tackle the root causes of repeat, low-level crime and support people’s journeys towards better lives. Through amplifying the voices of those who have experienced the criminal justice system, their mission is to prevent individuals from being criminalised due to unmet health and social needs, such as poverty, homelessness, mental ill health, problems with drugs and alcohol or domestic abuse.
