Founder Treasures Foundation
Transforming Lives Through Compassion and Rehabilitation
Mandy Ogunmokun is a powerful advocate for second chances, dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives after incarceration and addiction. In 2011, she founded the Treasures Foundation, providing safe housing and rehabilitation for female ex-offenders in East London. Through a holistic and nurturing approach, her organisation offers women the time, space, and support needed to recover, free from rigid deadlines and societal pressures. By breaking cycles of trauma, addiction, and incarceration, Mandy empowers women to rediscover their strength, autonomy, and potential.
Her own lived experience of addiction and recovery fuels her passion for creating lasting change. Treasures Foundation is not just about rehabilitation—it’s about self-discovery and transformation, proving that everyone has the capacity for positive change when given the right support. Through compassion, housing, and mentorship, Mandy’s work is lifting women out of crisis and providing them with a future filled with hope and opportunity.
