The project works in Partnership with the prison/ probationary services to equip those who are disadvantage in finding workwith the skills to gain employment and move towards independent living.
As part of the project we recently attended one of the princes' seeing is believing visits at HM Prison Services in Bedford to gain an insight into the work/training prisoners undertake and how we as a Group may be able to support the project.
Should you have any experience working with similar schemes or advice/ideas please get in touch we would be happy to hear them.
