● Our Story

Wht We Started

When someone you care about becomes involved with the criminal justice system, it can feel like being thrown into a foreign country where everyone speaks a different language. Legal jargon, complex processes, and conflicting information online can leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless.

We started CJS Hub because we saw too many people struggling to find clear, reliable information. The internet is full of scare stories, outdated advice, and websites more interested in clicks than helping. We wanted to create something different.

Our guides are written in plain English by people who understand the system. We don’t campaign or take political positions. We just explain how things work, what your options are, and where you can get help.

 

● Our Values

What We Believe

These principles guide everything we do at CJS Hub.

Public Good First

As a Community Interest Company, everything we do is focused on helping people, not making profit.

Clear & Honest

No jargon, no scare stories, no agenda. Just straight answers in everyday language.

Practical Focus

We show you what your options are and where to put your effort. We help you take the next step.

Regularly Updated

The law changes, processes change. We keep our guides current so you always have accurate information.

What is a Community Interest Company?

A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a special type of limited company designed specifically for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for the public good.

Unlike a charity, a CIC can trade and make profits, but those profits must be used for community purposes rather than private gain. This means everything we earn goes back into helping more people navigate the justice system.

Our CIC status is regulated by the CIC Regulator, ensuring we stay true to our social mission.
