Working with recent prison leavers or those with an offending history is part of our aim to come alongside socially excluded people and help them to turn their own lives around.
Prison Leavers
In partnership with probations services across the North East, we offer a second chance to those that might not otherwise receive it.
Like all trainees, prison leavers across our hubs will work with support staff and have access to the advice and guidance they have to offer. Working in collaboration with other agencies, we work to build healthy coping strategies and provide holistic support that engages with individuals’ whole lives and provide an opportunity for a second chance.
We also host workshop sessions specifically intended for prison leavers. These training sessions not only enhance employment prospects, but also just provide a meaningful way for individuals to spend their time and an opportunity to work as part of a positive social network. It is our hope that community building in the workshop will become reflected in wider society and promote desistance.
