Fitness Rush Community CIC was formed on the 9th August 2022 by its founder Liam Rushmer, with the main
focus of continuing the private personal training developed at Fitness Rush Ltd in Old Hurst, Cambridgeshire to
include wider communities, deprived areas and address homelessness. The usp targets individuals who would like
to use exercise as a tool to better themselves and learn sustainable lifestyle practices to support their growth and career pathway potential. By initially working alongside Fitness Rush Mobile, individuals can enjoy exercise at their homes, public spaces or workplaces, which will dramatically reduce certain barriers, when faced with any new challenging prospect.
Our qualification centre helps learners gain knowledge about their body, nutrition and sustainable lifestyle choices, which can be used both in their own lives and also towards a new career in the leisure industry.

ICENA is a social enterprise, dedicated to empowering individuals and organisations to create social change. We provide training and consultancy to help create safe, harassment-free and equitable spaces and workplaces.

New Beginnings North CIC is a social enterprise based in the North East. We provide an ambitious and innovative approach to delivering social justice for people with neurodiverse needs within the Criminal Justice System.

New Beginnings North provides 1:1 support, care and guidance for people with neuro-differences who are serving short sentences, and working with probation. Understanding the challenges they face we help and guide them as they navigate the complex barriers on their reintegration journey.

In addition to the 1:1 support we run workshops that help to build neurodivergent adults and young people's:
understanding about their neurodiverse strengths;
confidence in applying for jobs;
skills for life;
communication skills;
skills for learning and
relationships and resilience.

Tempo works to enable more people to volunteer, because giving your time and feeling valued improves health, happiness and future prospects.

Our vision is for strong, connected communities where everyone’s time is valued. We want to work with more communities across the UK – enabling more people to contribute to their local community, and be recognised for the time that they give.

To achieve this, we use Time Credits to engage new people in communities and in shaping local services, improving health and wellbeing for all.

Time Credits are a time-based currency that incentivises people to volunteer. People earn Time Credits when they give their time and spend them on a wide range of activities they choose.

The benefits of Time Credits include:
• More people volunteering
• Improved health and wellbeing
• A stronger voluntary sector
• Better designed services
• People feel more connected
• People develop new skills and confidence

The Corbett Network for Prisoner Re-Integration is a coalition of charities, social enterprises, CICs, non-profit organisations and businesses with a social mission who work with those in prison and after release.

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

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.

User Voice was created for and by people who have been in prison and on probation. Lived experience means we engage empathetically instead of sympathetically.

Lived experience is the core of what we do. It’s not a token it’s a benefit. 80% of our team have lived experience. That’s from our founder and CEO, in our SLT and across our engagement team. All our volunteers have lived experience and we make sure that their progression, through and outside of User Voice, is just one of the ways we all benefit from their contribution.

We exist to reduce offending and support rehabilitation by working with the most marginalised people in and around the criminal justice system to ensure that practitioners and policy-makers hear their voices.

We have an integrated EETEA model for reducing reoffending and reintegration of prisoners on release.

Engagement: We have been working in prisons as a prisoner led initiative since 2015 providing information on sentence planning and progression.

Education and Training: Our Academy provides fully funded soft skills critical thinking and personal development courses, as well as vocational NVQs, and apprenticeships to serving prisoners and prison leavers.

Employment: We offer a careers service for serving prisoners nearing end of sentence and prison leavers. Prisoners who enter our Pathways Programme receive a guaranteed offer of employment on release with one of our sponsoring employers.

Accommodation: We aim to ensure those on our Pathways Programme are financially supported into accommodation.

Mentoring: We provide 12 months post-release mentoring for Pathways graduates those who need it.

Coaching: We provide coaching to sponsoring employers staff on reintegration support needs.
