Khulisa is a small national charity that aims to break the cycle of crime and violence and develop stronger, safer communities.
Inspired by their sister charity in South Africa, Khulisa's programmes have a strong emphasis on developing emotional resilience, improving well-being and raising aspiration. They support longer-term outcomes including reduced offending, improved educational attainment and employability. To do this, they work across three pathways aimed at prevention, rehabilitation and reintegration.
Prevent Khulisa works in schools and Pupil Referral Units to tackle the root cause of behavioural issues and to prevent young people from entering the criminal justice system or becoming NEET.
Face It, the flagship programme of Khulisa's preventative pathway is a social learning cognitive-behaviour programme based on therapeutic methods leading to pro-social behaviour-change, self-awareness and pro-social identity on the part of participants. It is an intervention that additionally reduces violence and changes anti-social behaviour contributing to a reduction in violence/assaults whilst offering longer term positive effects on reducing re-offending with other supports.
Rehabilitate Khulisa delivers a high-impact violence reduction programme called 'Silence the Violence' in adult prisons and youth offending institutions across the UK. The programme helps prisoners to understand and tackle the root causes of their violent or disruptive behaviour and aims to support prisoners in their successful rehabilitation and reintegration into the community and families.
Reintegrate Post-release Khulisa supports ex-prisoners in their transition into the community and families by way of our Milestones Mentoring programme.
As well as delivering our programmes directly to ex-prisoners, they also partner with local charities and rehabilitation service providers to ensure they support the most vulnerable young people, including those who have parents in prison.
