Join ClinksThe Odyssey Foundation CIC is a new not-for-profit UK venture to help those primarily with convictions and over the age of 25 to successfully rebuild their lives. It has been modelled on the remarkably successful Delancey Street Foundation, an initiative that was started in the USA in 1971 by Mimi Silbert. Mimi has been recognised and praised worldwide as a great innovator of supporting disadvantaged people.
Our Aim
To successfully support ex-offenders, primarily, over the age of 25, back into society in such a way that they feel they have a sense of purpose and are socially included, rather than being socially excluded - which is the norm.
We aim to successfully offer appropriate work placements with supporting employers. This is intended to lead into paid and sustainable employment. We are also working with local housing bodies so that safe and stable accommodation will be available, with the final aim of achieving independent living and a proven employment record
