Adullam is a specialist supported housing association and the services we provide include supported accommodation, floating support, landlord accreditation schemes, bond schemes, and peer mentoring. We work with the most vulnerable people in society today and we offer hope and dignity through quality housing and support to people in the following client groups: homeless, young people leaving care, mothers & babies, people fleeing domestic violence, refugees and asylum seekers, people living with HIV/Aids, ex-offenders or those at risk of offending and people recovering from drug & alcohol addiction.

Employment, housing, education, complaints, community asset acquisition, welfare rights, criminal justice reports, human rights, access to healthcare and community care.

Beyond Recovery is a fast growing new social enterprise already making a proven difference to people with repeat offending behaviour, complex mental health issues and drug and alcohol problems who are involved in the criminal justice system.

Founded by Jacqueline Hollows MSc, Beyond Recovery aims to help people look beyond mere survival and existence, and instead to move forward, with hope, resilience and purpose in life. The impact of this work creates far reaching ripple effects in communities, relationships, careers, business opportunities as well as complete recovery from previously intractable diagnosis’s.

The work of Beyond Recovery is based on an approach called the Three Principles, which was recently described as having a common sense simplicity with intellectual credibility [Kessel 2017] – this differs from many other approaches to tackling human problems in one fundamental way: it focuses on teaching health rather than treating illness. The model is rooted in a belief that we all have inner mental good health and teaches individuals how to access and sustain this health.

Chance 2 Change is an 8 session group based programme, using the cognitive behavioural therapy to reduce negativity and marginalisation in our communities. Each group works intensively with up to 10 clients and seeks to nurture good where otherwise negative behaviour can become prevalent. We aim to make other interventions more effective and responsive by creating a solid foundation of emotional strength upon which other services can be used to build a complete and robust package of support.

Without tackling the underlying causes of why marginalisation exits in the first place it is very difficult to bring about lasting change and therefore it is necessary to alter the thinking patterns of participants before addressing the practical issues otherwise their underlying emotions will always cause conflict both in themselves and others. We believe and have demonstrated that change must start from within and we are best placed to deliver this.

BLAST Foundation is a Christian "Through The Gate" Resettlement organisation, working with prisoners and ex-offenders and their families of all faiths and no faiths. BLAST aim to be provider of choice, for prisons and probation trusts wishing to reduce recidivism and improve resettlement for prison inmates who want to transform their lives and break their cycle of re-offending. BLAST achieves this through our transformation, employability & business programmes delivered in prison. These programmes combine and are supported by BLASTs mentor and resettlement services, to support ex-offenders and their families in the difficult task of re-integrating in society

Cardboard Citizens is a professional theatre company making Forum plays with and for the homeless or those at risk of homelessness. We run regular workshops and perform in hostels and prisons.

We also have a youth theatre programme for 16- to 25-year-olds. You can refer to us at any time of year and also book us for free Forum Theatre performances in your prison.

We also provide The Art of Engagement training to organisations and staff, using tried and tested theatre-based techniques to enable staff to engage in a more meaningful way with their clients.

The CLA works with all care leavers over the age of 16. We are guided by the views of our membership and thus hav0a wide range of areas of interest and activity. However, our work can be grouped into five main areas:

•User Led Support - A Network Project, group support, social networking site and virtual mechanisms to help people connect.
•Projects - Areas of work with specific outcomes – young people, access to records, speaking out, media.
•Training and Assessment - We work with a wide range of organisations to improve service delivery to care leavers through training and quality assessment.
•Advice, information and signposting - Focus on informing care leavers about their rights through signposting to additional support services and developing our guides and fact sheets while providing some individual casework.
•Research, Policy and Campaigns - We conduct, collate and promote research about care leavers

Care-Connect is one of 14 Innovation hubs in the University of Leeds. The overall aim of the hub is to connect research with policy and practice and to support the creation and sustainability of caring, connected communities. We do this from a social, economic, health, legal and environmental perspective.

Perhaps the best way to view Care-Connect is that it acts as a bridge between the academics and their research at the University and external stakeholders such as Leeds City Council, the NHS and 3rd sector organisations. By bringing the two together we hope to both inform and explore the implications of policy and practice.

Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people. Our purpose is to end homelessness by rebuilding lives through housing, education and employment services. Our services for homeless ex-offenders aim to reduce reoffending by improving skills, employability and housing stability. Through a highly personalised approach, we provide one-to-one employment coaching, vocational training, job search skills and up to six months in-work support. Our pioneering job coaching model empowers clients to address the personal and structural barriers preventing them from achieving sustainable employment, thereby reducing their likelihood of re-offending. Clients have access to housing coaches who help them to find accommodation in the private rented sector (PRS).

In the past year in London, 52 people secured employment and 15 found sustainable PRS accommodation. Since the service began in April 2010, of the more than 300 people supported, only one has re-offended while using the service.
