Space2face Shetland

Space2face Shetland Space2face is a restorative practices and arts charity. We work with everyone affected by crime and harm. We work with individuals as well as groups.

Space2face is a restorative justice and arts project co-founded in 2008 by Alyson Halcrow and Clair Aldington. Originally a partnership project between Shetland Arts and the Community Mediation Team in Shetland, it is now an independent charity (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation) which Clair continues to manage with Alyson in a consulting role. There is a board of five trustees which i

ncludes former clients of the project. In April 2016, space2face won the criminal justice category of the Restorative Practice UK Awards. The project merges the arts with restorative practices to work with people of all ages who are involved in conflict or harm in their lives. It provides space for participants to look at what has happened, how it has affected them and others, and what they need to be able to move on with their lives in a safer way. Referrals are received from the Children's Reporter, Criminal Justice and Children and Families Social Work as well as through self-referrals. Space2face has been successively funded since 2009 by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, BBC Children in Need, Creative Scotland and Shetland Arts with additional contributions from local funders. The project has been presented to International Institute for Restorative Practices conferences in USA (August 2012) and Hungary (June 2015) and to the Scottish National Forum for Restorative Justice (December 2015).
