Top social justice award for Cracked It smartphone project

The founder of the screen repair initiative is a judge for the Observer's New Radicals

Cracked It, a social enterprise staffed by young ex-offenders, and whose founder is a judge of the Observer New Radicals initiative, has been named social enterprise of the year.

The project, a smartphone-repair service which employs young ex-offenders and tries to turn young people away from gangs, was recognised at the Centre for Social Justice Awards last week. Cracked It was tipped as a rising star of 2017 by the Observer last year.
