Company activities and impact

Restitute CIC provides emotional, practical and therapeutic support to people who care for victims of serious or sexual violence. A summary of the year’s achievement is below. The quality of the service provided to clients - Families consistently show remarkable recovery and tell us about the life-changing difference we have made both for them and also the people that they care for. - Far fewer clients than we predicted have required mental health interventions. Inevitably the vast majority of our clients are deeply distressed. However, less than 10% require a therapeutic intervention – emotional support, consistent engagement and practical help with housing, education, finances, and relationships, as well as advice and guidance on supporting children living with trauma is proving to be the most effective way of promoting recovery. Staff expertise, commitment, and knowledge - Underpinning our outcomes and work so far has been a consistent, enthusiastic, and expert workforce with the right balance of lived experience and management and leadership skills. - Highly experienced social workers who have come out of early retirement have supported people with lived experience providing a balance of lived and learned experience in our support worker team. The impact of our outreach and education - We have empowered former clients to speak up for themselves in national media, gathered professionals from across the UK to learn about the need for services like Restitute and secured commitments through our campaigning work to strengthen provision for families via the Victims Bill. - Hard work by Directors and staff members has led to engagement with decision-makers to influence and shape national policy. - In particular, system influencers were keen to support our funding application for the National Lottery, providing testimonies and letters of support to back our bid. Awards and recognition: - Our Welcome and Welfare manager, Sarah Dean received an award for Trauma Informed Care and the CEO, Cath Pickles was named as a Points of Light recipient for founding Restitute and supporting families of those caring for victims of sexual abuse. Geographical reach - Restitute has now supported families in 21 counties across England, exceeding our plans.

Consultation with stakeholders

Restitute is a lived experience organisation – designed, led, managed, and delivered by parents, carers, partners and loved ones who care for survivors of serious crime. In 2019, we built the service we wished we’d received and since then have worked hard to ensure that everyone who is part of Restitute is able to contribute to our collective knowledge, expertise and understanding, not just for the families we directly support but for everyone in society. There is a passion, pride, and commitment throughout the whole organisation that we really are saving and changing lives. Since inception, we have involved clients and their families to create and refine our offer, prioritise needs identified by new clients and worked to be responsive and deliver a bespoke service to the people we work with. This has meant adapting our offer dependent on local services that are available where there is either excellent provision or conversely nothing available at all. Because our service is bespoke for every family, we avoid duplication, fill in the gaps and work in partnership across statutory and 3rd sector providers. In the first few years, issues around home-schooling, social services, housing and dealing with COVID were a priority. In subsequent years, the cost-of-living, the criminal justice system back-log, access to dentists and complex cases involving multiple features of poverty, transgenerational trauma and poor mental health and sibling sexual abuse have become more prevalent. On a more positive note, household support funding has meant that the necessity for us to purchase white goods or provide food shops or energy top ups has lessened as other funding has become more routinely available. We have worked hard to ensure that our offer remains relevant, flexible, holistic, and empowering.
