Trustee with Finance and Governance

The Organisation

Restorative Justice Services is a company limited by guarantee (CLG) and a registered charity based in Dublin that works restoratively with people affected by crime. 

We are one of the Community Based Organisations that receives funding from the Irish Probation Service to deliver restorative justice programmes and interventions in Dublin, Meath, Wicklow, and Kildare. Our interventions focus on meeting the needs of victims of crime whilst challenging the behaviour of those who offend.

We work collaboratively with statutory and non-statutory organisations, such as an Garda Siochana, community groups and victims’ organisations to achieve our goals.
