The Nelson Trust provides Women's Centre services to women experiencing multiple, complex needs which may include repeated involvement with the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Our mission is to champion trauma-informed approaches to address the root causes of substance misuse, violence, abuse, deprivation and poverty. Our comprehensive services are based at our Women’s Community Centres in Gloucester, Swindon, Somerset, Bristol and Wales. The gender-specific services we offer address needs across the Nine Pathways that lead to offending (including housing, health, substance misuse, employment, and family breakdown), and divert women away from the CJS. The Trust was established in 1985, and our women’s services were informed by our abstinent-based residential rehabilitation programme in Gloucestershire. We work with women across Gloucestershire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Avon and Somerset and Wales to reduce re-offending and support women to achieve sustained, positive changes in their lives.

For over 40 years, The Prince’s Trust has been working with disadvantaged young people, aged 13-30. We help them develop the skills and motivation to re-engage with society, secure employment, return to education, gain qualifications, and ultimately, become economically active.

Our programmes offer personal development opportunities that bring tangible and lasting benefits to both the young people we support, and the communities in which they live. We provide quality services that deliver the best possible outcomes to those who need it most. Within our core target group are those who are:
- Unemployed, particularly those out of work for six months or more.
- Educational underachievers, including those who have been excluded from school or are at risk of being excluded.
- Those facing complex barriers to work and education such as offenders/ex-offenders, those with mental health issues, lone parents, those in or leaving-care or disabled young people.

We’re a national charity that wants to bring about a reading revolution so that everyone can experience and enjoy great literature, which we believe is a tool for helping humans survive and live well.

Through a growing movement of 1,000 volunteers and partners across different sectors, we currently bring over 2,500 people together each week to share and discuss great novels, plays and poems. We call this Shared Reading.

By reading with families, adults, looked after children, older people in care, adults with physical and/or mental health conditions, people coping with addiction and individuals in the criminal justice system, our work is helping to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and build stronger communities.

Currently working in 35 prisons and approved premises, we reach 650 people each week:
77% report improved wellbeing
67% report improved confidence
64% say Shared Reading helps them understand themselves better and connect to others in a deeper way

Rehabilitation project specialising in educating challenging subjects in a hard to reach demographic

The aim of The Riverside Group is to transform lives and revitalise neighbourhoods. We view support in an integrated way across the services that provide the support people who are homeless need. People who are homeless often have complex needs crossing mental health, substance misuse, criminal justice and social care responsibilities. We will not stop people falling through the gaps into homelessness if we continue to only meet these needs through homeless specific services.

The Sapphire Employability and Wellbeing Academy (TSEAWA), rebranded in 2022 from the Sapphire Community Group, empowers individuals from racially marginalised and deprived communities of all ages through employability, wellbeing, and enrichment support.

We mentor, coach, and provide resources to over 8,000 individuals, focusing on holistic support and early mental health interventions. Currently assisting 1,444 young people with plans to expand, we seek funding to continue offering accredited counseling services and meet rising demand.

The Women's Centre Cornwall is run by women, for women. We have grown from our early roots as a Rape Crisis Centre into an innovative, award-winning feminist organisation which provides a wide range of services for women and girls in our communities. Our work with women living with the impact of sexual and domestic violence is our core specialism as we believe that there can be no real gender equality without a complete cessation of violence against women. In addition, we provide community-based activities across Cornwall and support women ex-offenders across Cornwall, Devon and Dorset, and in HMP Eastwood Park.

Our Space is a co-created programme, putting the people who engage in the programme at the heart and responding to their needs. We take a needs-based and person-centred approach and our offer is complimentary to the interventions and important support of services and organisations working within therapeutic, clinical, probation and recovery settings.

We provide effective behaviour change interventions for a variety of populations including the hardest to reach, disengaged and disruptive high risk violent offenders.
Our short intense behaviour-change course uses specially trained horses to provide motivation, feedback and structure. The course focuses on building fundamental emotional and mental skills, developing responsibilities and creating confidence as a learner. Evaluation has been extremely positive, including statistically significant drop in reoffending of 27% points, see http://www.thehorsecourse.org/evidence.
We work within prisons or beyond the gate, as well as with those at risk of offending. We have an HQ in Dorset (SW) and a growing number of trained facilitators spread around the UK. (Currently 10 fully trained and 17 partially trained).
