A place to come to
A safe place for women to come to, no matter what
Lou was so ashamed of what she did she planned suicide. Diane used alcohol to blot out the traumas in her life and ended up in prison.
This new film explains how women's charity Platform 51 helped Lou and Diane turn their lives around.
Women offenders are some of the most vulnerable people in society: misunderstood, judged, isolated, devalued. We help them rebuild their lives. In our film you will meet Lou and Diane, two remarkable women - we are so proud of them.
It costs £3,000 for us to run an eight-week programme like the one Diane and Lou attended. Please support us if you can so we can help more women escape the cycle of crime and rebuild their lives. 95% of the women who attend our programme do not re-offend.
Please support our work if you can. Thank you.
