Tempo works to enable more people to volunteer, because giving your time and feeling valued improves health, happiness and future prospects.

Our vision is for strong, connected communities where everyone’s time is valued. We want to work with more communities across the UK – enabling more people to contribute to their local community, and be recognised for the time that they give.

To achieve this, we use Time Credits to engage new people in communities and in shaping local services, improving health and wellbeing for all.

Time Credits are a time-based currency that incentivises people to volunteer. People earn Time Credits when they give their time and spend them on a wide range of activities they choose.

The benefits of Time Credits include:
• More people volunteering
• Improved health and wellbeing
• A stronger voluntary sector
• Better designed services
• People feel more connected
• People develop new skills and confidence

Tempus Novo challenges conventional methods of rehabilitation by matching offenders willing to change to businesses who are looking for hard working and loyal employees. Managed by prison officers who have a thorough understanding of both the criminal justice system and business we are able to find sustainable employment, and support the offender for up to 12 months beyond the prison gate.
Our ability to risk assess offenders using detailed information means we take the headache out of recruitment for those businesses we engage with.

The Ben Kinsella Trust was set-up as an educational charity following Ben’s murder in 2008. We believe that it is crucial that we invest in educating our children and young people about the issue of knife crime to try to prevent young people from becoming victims or perpetrators of serious violence.
In September 2012 The Ben Kinsella Exhibition was launched. The exhibition is aimed at children and young people from 9 to 16 years and aims to educate young people about the consequences of violent crime and how they can make smart choices to stay safe, learning about the law and thinking about peer influence. This interactive exhibition is split into a number of rooms with each room having a different theme and activity.
To date around 14,500 children and young people from schools, youth offending teams and youth organisations have taken part in workshops at our exhibition site.
