About One Small Thing

We provide gender responsive, trauma-informed programmes within the prison and community sectors that consider the individual caught in a cycle of crime and incarceration, with the aim of humanising their experiences. We want to shift the voice of blame and judgement and the ‘what’s wrong with them?’ line of questioning to a kinder, respectful and healing approach that asks, ‘What has happened to them?

Our mission is to redesign the justice system for women and their children by:

· Redesign the way the justice system responds to women and their children in a way that can be replicated and scaled nationally.

The Charity and The Vision.
