What we do
Engage the enthusiasm, dedication and commiment of volunteers from the local communities, training them as social mentors to offenders
Mentor offenders from up to six weeks prior to release, be there at the gate and support them in the community for a further six months.
Guide the offenders to the relevant specialist services that they require to assist them in rebuilding their lives, acting as advocate when necessary.
Establish clear lines of communication and referral to agencies working in the following areas: Housing, employment, education, debt, benefits, substance abuse and dependency, health and family.
Work towards agreed targets with the offender, assessing progress along the way. All meetings are recorded and evaluated. Assist in creating safer communities by reducing the high reoffending rates of our offenders when released into the community
