Join ClinksWe run peer support circles with groups of 10-15 vulnerable and marginalised women who have recently (6-weeks – 6months_ been released out of prison in the North of England. The core goals are to support them to reconnect with others, especially those who will understand their journey to some degree, rebuild their lives and reintegrate into their community as well as access meaningful well paid work – not just at the bottom of the pile. We help women take themselves, their skills and their future lives seriously, whilst side design tailored training and support to fast track routes back to work alongside lobby employers and give them routes to deliver inclusive recruitment strategies.
Additionally we have begun to expand a series of piloted digital courses developed with and for ex-offenders (although relevant content to anyone). The 4 week courses

Supporting information
To date we’ve enabled 10 women 6 weeks out of prison to go through an intensive 3-6 month programme and all have now found work so we know the innovative, lived experience led approach works. We want to run 2 3 month programmes of fortnightly Coming Home face to face peer to peer sessions enabling 20+ people to access the programme and get back to work and rebuild their lives.
Alongside this we were commissioned to support 30+ women from marginalised backgrounds including exoffenders with our codesigned programme Finding Financial Resilience with Flourish Together CIC.
