We support women leaving prison from the moment of release through peer mentor matching with a lived experience individual who provides support, signposting and a buddy system.
We then provide a 4 day workshop program for exoffenders : "Digital Skills for Work," "Employability for Exoffenders," "Building Resilience - Emotional & Financial," and "Lived Experience - Owning Your Story," Our 4 day program takes women from behind bars to boardrooms and supports meaningful employment. Our core goals are to support women in reconnecting with others, their communities and to rebuild their lives with access meaningful well paid work – not just run-of-the-mill traditional employment prison pathways. We believe in aspiration and inspiration for all, empowerment, education and employment as tenets of reducing reoffending and creating life-long stability and rehabilitation.
