Supporting information
BLAST is about change and we believe transformation at the heart of this and is within each person. Change happens through building relationships in prison, through-the-gate and into the community.
Students on BLAST's 5 week full-time in prison programme, develop new ways of thinking about themselves, confront their past and develop new perspectives for their future. BLAST deliver life & employability skill programmes, underpinned by our Mentor programme, in turn supported by caseworkers for effective resettlement. BLAST also operate our Meet@Gate service.
BLAST achieves this by using a co-operative, open and creative learning environment where relationships and students are valued. This builds self-confidence and empowers individuals to strive to reconcile their past and thus change their future.
BLAST work with a number of partner organisations and local community groups, including faith based organisations, with local employers (Retailers, Engineering, Councils etc...).
