We are seeking trustees with a variety of experiences to help guide a new charity’s growth, governance and impact in reducing re-offending through self- employment.
Restart in Business aims to create sustainable self-employment opportunities for people who are exiting the criminal justice system and seeking to rebuild their livelihoods. We are currently forming our charitable organisation and we seek trustees who are passionate about reducing reoffending and supporting ex-offender to build better futures through self-employment.
Our broader goal is to reduce reoffending. A high number of those who serve prison sentences will reoffend unless they have positive alternatives to crime.
The stigma associated with being on the wrong end of the criminal justice system massively narrows chances of gaining lawful employment but self-employment is a potential solution. Restart in Business draws on lived experience in rehabilitation and business by delivering structured development programmes and offering advice and support from experienced business coaches over a two-year period.
This is an opportunity to contribute to the building of our charity and to help guide our strategic direction, ensuring good governance, accountability and long-term sustainability.

The Lorna Young Foundation was founded in 2003 after Lorna Young, a founder of Cafe Direct, who single-handedly achieved the first placing of fairly traded products in British supermarkets.
We work to support rural farming communities in low income countries to gain more value from the crops they grow – informing them about ethical certification schemes, how to improve crop yields, counter climate change impacts and to take more control of their own livelihoods. Our flagship Farmers’ Voice Radio initiative has trained and supported rural communities across Africa, Latin America and Asia to create and run their own community radio programmes, reaching millions of people in remote areas where other forms of communication are redundant.
We also work with marginalised communities in the UK through our Not Just Us programme, providing them with skills and support to create ethical enterprises, and with an appreciation of humanity’s collective global connectivity and interdependence.
