Join ClinksApex Trust provides information, advice and guidance to offenders/ex-offenders, supporting them into employment, training, education and voluntary work by assisting them in breaking down the barriers they face when moving forward with a conviction. Based in St Helens with outreach across the Liverpool City Region, ACT 4 Women is a peer support project. Beneficiaries are unemployed women ex-offenders. Former/current service users play a central role in its delivery & development. We offer Level 2 Award in Peer Mentoring, our accredited training programme, which involves opportunities to engage within communities and develop a positive sense of self, based on helping others. One of the key by-products of our work is to reduce re-offending and to achieve better integration of our clients into society. Our service is not time limited and is delivered at a pace to suit the individual to enable them to achieve their goals.

Contract History
Supporting information
We have worked in the St Helens, Merseyside area since 1996 offering a tailored service to offenders and those at risk of offending to move away from a life of crime to employment, training, and education (ETE) & voluntary work. We work with local adult ex-offenders to release their full potential and support them in breaking down the barriers they face. We provide information, advice and guidance through face to face & outreach, fulfilling our aims by working with individuals not adequately supported elsewhere. A major barrier to finding employment for people with a criminal record is overcoming employer resistance; we provide specialised advice & support to help individuals to positively disclosure their convictions.
Our service provides 1-1, holistic support to people through our advice & guidance officers supporting our client group to positively disclose their criminal record when applying for employment, voluntary work, and higher education.
