Our high viz jackets arrived! We were so excited to see our trauma-informed design start to take shape.

Our team met regularly with the architects and designers, and we continued to consult with justice-involved women, local and national stakeholders and experts in the field of trauma to ensure we are staying true to our core ambition of creating a healing and restorative space for justice involved women.

The plans for the sensory gardens, which include a labyrinth, will provide a regulating space for the women and their children. We  started to source the materials needed for the hard landscaping aspects. Plans were also being finalised for the children’s creche and dedicated play space which will sit alongside our working kitchen gardens and enable the women to develop life skills, garden and benefit from the nurturing process of growing food.
