“‘If I didn’t get introduced to SHiFT, I would have been arrested by now. Yeah, I would have been arrested by now I know that for a fact. I would have been arrested or dead. I wouldn’t have stopped. I would have just carried on and got further involved with it.’ ”
BREAKING CYCLES
At the heart of everything we are and everything we do is ‘Breaking Cycles’ - the dynamic and evidenced approach to enabling change, created and pioneered by one of SHiFT’s Founders, Sophie Humphreys OBE.
