Activities & Mission

We work with ex-offenders and those at risk of offending. Our programme starts with providing full time jobs in one of our businesses, gaining valuable work experience and skills as well as on the job training and support. Through this work we give people the chance to overcome the cycles of reoffending and continue to transform their lives as they grow in their Christian faith.
