About Why me?

Why me? are the national charity delivering and promoting Restorative Justice for everyone affected by crime and conflict. 

Restorative Justice allows people affected by criminal and other harmful behaviour to communicate with the person responsible, often with the aim of a face to face meeting. This gives the person who has been harmed the opportunity to seek answers, express how they were affected, and explain what could be done to put things right. It also helps the person responsible to see the real impact of their actions and encourages them to change their behaviour. Restorative Justice is managed by trained facilitators and can be used to address any crime or conflict, as long as both parties consent. It is not used as a substitute for other measures, and can take place while people are serving time in prison.
