Our impact

Our impact on the lives of vulnerable people who face trauma, complex needs, poverty, and offending is growing.

We now have 12 staff at five sites in five courts, six trustees, around 26 volunteers, and, each month, we support more than 150 people through the Justice System and into life beyond.

Anyone going through the courts in Exeter, Newton Abbot, Plymouth, Bodmin or Truro can get confidential help.

The cost of living crisis continues to affect everyone, but especially people with limited financial, emotional and social resources. Their options are narrow, so each day involves very tough decisions. Some can see no option other than to commit a crime to survive.

About 75% of the people we see have mental health needs so it’s hard for them to make decisions. This increases their vulnerability and they need extra support to make changes in their lives.
