Himaya Haven CIC

Himaya Haven is a leading organisation who work with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities (BAME) and who specialise in supporting families of loved ones in custody and prison. Our mission is to provide a range of services to meet individuals' and family members' needs whilst they progress through the criminal justice system by offering holistic support, advice, guidance, information coping therapies and access to mainstream services. Our aim is to speak up on behalf of the silent victims on the outside by offering a variety of services to support families of men and women who have a link with someone in custody or prison. We champion their needs and problems, assisting these groups to cope with the anxieties of arrest, sentencing, imprisonment and release; alongside tackling taboo subjects which carry with them stigma, shame, and dishonour. As well as helping them to understand the practicalities and procedures involved. We believe that families should be able to access appropriate and timely support at every stage of the Criminal Justice System - From point of arrest to point of release .
