The Foundation supports the work of groups and organisations that work with people in prison, ‘through the gate’, ex-offenders, and those at risk of offending. We are especially keen to support the rehabilitation of people, and work that helps reduce the likelihood of re-offending behaviour.
The Foundation has been a strong advocate for the work of Community Chaplaincies, Restorative Justice, and for women in the criminal justice system or at risk of being in the criminal justice system.
We have funded specific work with perpetrators of domestic violence, sex offenders and older prisoners and others. We also support organisations which work for change within the criminal justice system. Projects funded include training in employable skills, literacy, a range of art-based projects, work with the families of prisoners, and a range of other activities.
