About Us

FORgiving is a charitable organisation that was established in 2016. During this period, we worked in collaboration with HMPPS to support ex-offenders as they transitioned from custody back into their individual communities. During the COVID -19 crisis FORgiving officially incorporated as a community interest company. With a board of five members and lived experience across the team. Our own ordeals have shed light to some of the key issues today that impact our youth community. And whilst rehabilitative work is critical and where the best part of our experience has been gained, we are aware of the significance of preventative work in managing violent crimes/ behaviour across our community. This ethos has formed the foundation of the work that we currently deliver.  We understand that the impoverished conditions that many young people are/ will experience only perpetuates the societal issues that we face around economic disparity and the disproportionate support available to cohorts of young people. FORgivng are aware of the implications that this can have on many young people’s personal and professional development. And we will continue to work tirelessly to bridge the gap in the support needed to truly guide and nurture their potential.
