SERIF is a social enterprise research organisation dedicated to social change and social justice. We are exploring the potential of social enterprise to contribute to a reduction in offending, both in the community and within the criminal justice system.

Thames Valley Partnership: "protecting victims, supporting offenders and their families". Thames Valley Partnership works in partnership with organisations operating within the Criminal Justice system and allied services to provide long-term solutions to the problems of crime and social exclusion. Our programmes include restorative justice, a range of support services for victims of crime, work in the area of domestic abuse, support for the families of offenders, early interventions to support young people, mentoring for offenders resettling back into the community.

The Cultural Connection operates at the intersection of mental health, community advocacy, and the criminal justice system. We focus on dismantling systemic barriers through evidence-based, community-driven solutions across three core pillars:

1. Mental Health Empowerment and Employability: Through "Steps 2 Success," we support individuals impacted by mental health challenges and systemic barriers, offering holistic employability and wellbeing initiatives in both forensic and community settings.

2. Community Advocacy and Training: We empower African and Caribbean communities to understand their mental health rights and navigate services effectively, creating sustainable advocacy through targeted training.

3. Research and Systemic Change: We drive systemic reform by researching inequalities in mental health and allied sectors, using insights to inform policy and create a more equitable society.

Together, these pillars transform lives and champion social equity.
