Access2Advice is a growing CIC, experienced in offering training and support to those in custody & on probation. This training is augmented by offering opportunities to volunteer, which can then assist in finding employment.

The aim is to reduce reoffending in prisoners within by addressing the key barriers to rehabilitation, such as improvement of self-confidence and motivation, improving transferable skills and employability, and by working with local businesses and the community to reduce stigma and discrimination. This is achieved through the 'breaking the cycle of re-offending' rehabilitation programme of training and support.

Current partners are APM, HMPPS.
