Changed
We support people with experience of the criminal justice system through two projects. The WIRE project supports people aged 18+ with a criminal record to improve their employability skills and gain work experience through placements with our business members. The UP Project supports young people aged 16-25 with a history of or at risk of offending to address their barriers to education, employment and training. This includes support with housing, mental health, relationships and skills and experience for work.
