Step Together Volunteering

Step Together’s Ex-Offender Programme aims to reduce the number of ex-offenders in target areas who re-offend on leaving prison. We provide 1:1 support and match individuals with a cause and a specific voluntary role with which they identify, acting as a catalyst for change - improving personal skills, well-being and employability, and enabling them to be self-supporting and play a more active and engaged part in society on release.

Working on both sides of the prison gate, to ensure seamless progression from prison to community, the programme enables people who would otherwise be excluded from society to participate in positive and purposeful diversionary activity, improving integration, building a sense of belonging and involvement, a resilience to turn their back on the past, and opening significant opportunities for the future. The programme works with all offenders and ages, regardless of the offence committed.
