ABOUT US

Strawberry Fields exists to support and empower marginalised people to recognise and move towards developing their potential.

We have been supporting young people and adults for over nine years and continue to provide compassionate, client-centric, and innovative support packages for those in need.

At Strawberry Fields, we believe in working a particular way meeting clients ‘where they are at’, whatever their stage or starting point.

We are a small team of multi-skilled, highly qualified, and free-thinking individuals who are prepared to consistently challenge our own practice and our judgements or assumptions of others.

As a company, we are always evolving and we take pride in going the extra mile for the benefit of our clients.

About Us

Smile Mediation is celebrating 21 years delivering mediation interventions, conflict coaching and skills training qualifications within the social housing, corporate and community sector.

Our services have developed to meet the needs of our partners, we deliver intra-family mediation to people in recovery from substance misuse, troubled families, and our unique hate crime programme working with offenders. Smile regularly facilitates large community and workplace conflicts involving multiple parties.

Every mediation intervention is different because the individuals involved in the dispute bring their own unique perspective, emotional responses and historic experience. Smile delivers a person-centred mediation service and this is embedded in our College of Mediators accredited mediation skills training. Our mediators are supported through ongoing CPD and supervision to ensure high quality standards of competence and practice.
