More generally, it is here to prevent the Hastings & St Leonards Riots by developing what was initially called "Sussex People's Justice" (www.peoplesjustice.org.uk).
The Sussex People's Justice website was built from the idea with which Paul Crosland and the Safeground team won the 2010 Social Innovation Camp. This weekend event called Jailbrake was to find ideas for web/mobile phone apps that could reduce youth offending and youth custody. The judges were representatives from:
- The Youth Justice Board
- The Police Improvement Agency
- The Prison Reform Trust
- (A major housing association across the UK)
This was the winning presentation:
1) The version that has the clearest speech in it (filmed with a close camera):
2) The more visually interesting edited version that incorporates the camera further back at the event:
And here is the general film about the Jailbrake competition and the result:
FROM Sussex People's Justice to Hastings Community Justice Panel
On the first anniversary of the pier fire, members of the public and police from all over the county attended an event at the Southwater Centre that was hosted by the newly formed St Leonards Sharing Consortium.
Three results of this meeting:
In January 2012, the St Leonards Sharing Consortium, led by two of its member organisations: Mediation Support Ltd and Restorative Technology Ltd (the latter which was the company which arose out of winning the 2010 Social Innovation Camp), decided to institute a Hastings Community Justice Panel, which would take a wider view.
Members of the local community are invited to propose themselves to be on the Hastings Community Justice Panel, more details of which are available on request.

Three results of this meeting:
- The attendees voted for resources to be given to a range of people and organisations in order to address the harm of the fire and pursue truth, reparation and rehabilitation of all into peaceful co-existence. The most popular place for people to put their resources (each attendee being given £600 of virtual money to allocate at the event) was Mediation Support Ltd/ Community Mediation more generally.
