Treasures Foundation exists to search out the treasures in female ex-offenders whose lives have been chaotic and marked by multiple and complex issues. We have 9 spaces in our supported housing in London.
Many of our women come from backgrounds of abuse, where they have turned to substance misuse and addiction. Often, they have lost their self-esteem, homes and families. The houses we provide are safe places where women get back on their feet after coming out of prison. Our objectives reflect this:
1) To provide a safe house to meet the housing needs of women exiting prison.
2) To improve the healthcare, education, life skills and well-being of the women through tailored care programmes.
3) To help the women on their journey towards independent living.
Without our work ex-offenders coming out of prison are at risk of falling back into chaotic lifestyles, of returning to domestic violence, drug and/or alcohol abuse and crime. This is in no one's interests.
