RJ4All Welcomes New Chair of the Board
London, July 7
RJ4All is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Charlotte Fernandes as the new Chair of the Board, succeeding Cllr Nick Johnson, who has served as Chair for almost 6 years. This appointment marks a new chapter for RJ4All as it continues to pursue its vision of a world that embraces the restorative justice values of power-sharing, fairness, equality, dignity and respect, where power abuse is rooted out.
Nick worked closely with RJ4All’s Founder, Prof. Theo Gavrielides, providing critical support during a significant and successful period in RJ4All’s journey, including the establishment and growth of the RJ4All Rotherhithe Community Centre and the establishment of the RJ4All office in Cyprus. Drawing on his extensive experience across the charity, commercial and public sectors, he has helped strengthen the organisation’s governance, strategic direction, and community impact. We extend our sincere thanks for his commitment, guidance, and valued contribution over the past five years.
Dr Charlotte, who has served on the Board and led the HR Committee, brings extensive expertise across education, forensic psychology, secure mental health services and organisational leadership. Her experience in developing innovative, evidence-led approaches to supporting vulnerable communities will help guide RJ4All’s next chapter.
At this important moment for RJ4All, the Board and staff team thank Nick once again for his dedicated service and leadership over the past five years and look forward to working with Charlotte as she steps into the role. Together, we will continue to grow our programmes, expand our geographical reach to support global restorative justice movement.
A reflection article from Nick on his five years as Chair will follow separately.
