Each year we work with more than 9,000 prisoners and ex-offenders, helping them to make real and positive change in their lives.

Going to prison can cause the loss of a home, possessions, job and relationship with family and friends. Our statistics show that 45% of our clients are ex-offenders.
Prison and community based advice: Our Offender Services team has been providing support in prisons for almost 20 years. We run services commissioned under the “transforming rehabilitation” initiative by the Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRC), offering housing advice and support in 14 prisons: 13 in London and one in Hertfordshire.
These provide advice and guidance on all housing matters including tenancy rescue, and support to find and access accommodation for people who would otherwise be homeless on release from prison, and help accessing benefits available to them.
Our Feltham education, training and employment service: This is a service which supports young offenders in Feltham Prison to access training and work opportunities upon their release, while linking in with the existing housing advice team within the prison. The aim is to address their housing needs and to support them as they move to living independently.
Beyond prisons, we work with ex offenders and probation services in Hertfordshire, Bristol, Bath and South Gloucestershire, and outreach services in Westminster. Our services include:
"A prison can be an intimidating place to work but after a while you realise a few things; you need to be able to listen, be patient and be completely honest with people. And when you can help, it feels like you have done a good thing, however small."
