I founded bthechange CIC in 2016, I was made aware of the fact that the criminal justice system was found lacking in certain areas and as a result was having a long-term negative impact on many concerned particularly: Women, first time entrants and those who are racially minoritised.

Convinced that there was a need for additional help and early interventions, I soon realised that without authentic and trauma informed support for people it was highly likely that individuals would not be able to move forward with their lives, and this could have a negative impact for a considerable amount of time.

All our services and programmes have been designed and in many cases are delivered by expert leaders with lived experience. I am extremely proud that bthechange is a diverse organisation, of which is demonstrated by our team who come from a multitude of backgrounds, with varied cultures, beliefs, and sexual orientations, I have developed a company that truly represents society.

My Personal Pledge
I will continue to challenge wherever I see, or experience things that are not in the best interest of the people we work with and those from underrepresented groups. I will always use my platform and networks to elevate the voices and concerns of others and to raise key issues facing the people in the criminal justice system and the wider society.

I am committed to being part of positive change within society and to work with communities to better address the needs of people with multiple and complex needs.

I firmly believe that we as a society need to be judged by the way we treat other people, particularly the most vulnerable in our communities.
