Restorative Justice for All International Institute

Who we are

Restorative Justice for All  (RJ4All) is a charitable, user-led international institute with a mission to address poverty and advance community cohesion and human rights. 

We redistribute power in a more equal way by delivering social justice and poverty relief projects, educational programmes, intercultural dialogue, internships and high quality volunteering opportunities to the most marginalised groups of society. 

We do this by using the power of education, sports and art, as well as the practices and values of restorative justice including power sharing, fairness, equality, dignity and respect.  

RJ4All has three additional arms: RJ4All Publications (publishing arm), RJ4All Sports (fitness arm) and RJ4All ecourses (training arm).

RJ4All is also the manager of the RJ4All Rotherhithe Community Centre, which has become a hub of community empowerment and cohesion aiming to develop the first restorative postcode in the world. It offers a food-bank, a community fridge, free sport classes, a community library, the COVID19 programme and educational workshops to children, young people and professionals. It is also a safe place for anyone who wants to pop in for a coffee, use our facilities or just chat with our interns, volunteers and team.

We achieve our charitable aims by:

• Carrying out educational projects and information campaigns in the interest of children and young people, communities, victims and marginalised groups.
• Providing certified and accredited e-courses and training programmes to professionals and young people.
