Khulisa is an award-winning charity delivering mental health and wellbeing support to disadvantaged young people (11-25). Through our programmes, we work to improve the confidence, resilience and coping skills of children excluded from school and young people in prisons, helping them to fulfil their true potential. Khulisa – ‘to nurture’ in Zulu – represents our South African heritage and our core belief that everyone, no matter their background, has the capacity to learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. We believe that schools, prisons, communities and government need a much more joined-up approach to help people escape the cycle of social exclusion and crime, which is why we are Britain’s only charity offering wellbeing programmes, training and research services at all key stages of the criminal justice system, giving us an unrivalled breadth of expertise of what works to reduce crime. With this, we are pushing for policy changes, so that we better support our schools, prisons and communities to reduce social exclusion and crime, and create a safer, more inclusive society.
