Dr. Theo Gavrielides, RJ4All Founder and director. said: “Restorative Justice for All and our charitable arm RJ4All Sports are proud to be working with local stakeholders Decathlon and Art Invest and Southwark Council to open a free community gym in SE16 London.
“RJ4All Sports aims to restore power abuse through sports, and this gym is the first step in addressing persistent health inequalities in our area. We simply do not believe that true community cohesion and restorative justice can be achieved if we do not approach them in a holistic manner. ”
