Khulisa works to break the cycle of exclusion and crime by intervening at every stage of the criminal justice system. It nurtures those who have been socially excluded and equip people with the skills and strength to choose alternatives to violence and crime.

To truly help people escape the cycle of social exclusion and crime, we believe that schools, prisons, communities and government need a more joined-up approach. This is why we are Britain’s only charity delivering behaviour change programmes, training for professionals and sharing best practice at key stages of the criminal justice system. This gives us an unrivalled breadth of expertise in and evidence of what works to reduce crime.
