Alice Dawnay founded the charity Switchback in 2008, which supports young Londoners to find a way out of the justice system. She's now part of the team that's just launched the Common Ground Justice Project, which is an initiative to find the common ground in the sometimes polarised debate around crime and justice.

Kam was helped by Switchback when he was being released from prison. He had committed an offence, but he had also been the victim of a very serious offence, losing a loved-one to knife crime. He is now part of the advisory panel for the Common Ground Justice Project.
