New Trustee joins The Mint House

We are delighted to announce we have a new trustee joining the board at The Mint House.

We’re delighted to welcome Christine Plews as a new trustee. A long-time resident in Oxford, Christine brings rich experience from her career as a family solicitor, her specialism in family mediation, and training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and systemic family therapy.

Christine says:

I am interested in getting involved with Restorative Justice because I think that the big conflicts of our time, can be traced back to seeing people as 'the other' and the ways of relating we have to people who do not hold the same view as ourselves or are different in some way.

I think that these ways start in childhood and how we learn to relate with one another in families and our local communities and that the macro of disputes could be lessened by the micro of our personal relationships.”

We look forward to the experience and wisdom Christine will bring to our team.
