RJ Working
The Ripple Effect
RJ Working is a Cornish charity that uses Restorative Practice to support young people to build their social and community connections, reduce loneliness and conflict and to take the lead in addressing social injustice issues in their lives and communities.
The Ripple Effect Programme enables young people to learn Restorative principles and language and develop their communication and problem solving skills.
Westhill’s funding will enable over 70 young people from areas experiencing social and economic disadvantage in West Cornwall to have increased community connection, reduce their risk of social and school exclusion and empower them as leaders.
RJ Working is a Quaker-recognised organisation which promotes the principles of equality, peace-making, integrity and sustainability.
RJ Working exists to equip young people with the principles, language and confidence to build a more compassionate and fair society.
At RJ Working we:
Believe every young person should have the right to access Restorative principles as part of their education
Use Restorative Practice training to equip young people to better look after themselves and each other, in person and online
Recognise the value of young people’s complex lived experience and the potential of Restorative Practice to empower their leadership
Support young people's commitment to tackling harms to identity, especially racism, and their commitment to climate justice.
