Supporting information
We provide be-spoke groupwork interventions with a robust evidence-base and theoretical framework designed to address a range of offending issues. Our approach is one which foregrounds creativity and innovation. We work with the commissioning agency to address issues specific to particular groups (eg veterans or older prisoners) or themes (eg substance misuse or violence)and we are happy to discuss how a Geese intervention can provide participants with an opportunity to access creative activities which promote learning, wellbeing and support rehabilitation
