Breaking Out Phase 2 (360G-CR-817113)

Funding Organization
£120,000
Recipient Organization

98% of young offenders at Polmont Youth Offending Institution (YOI) in Scotland said alcohol played a significant role in their offending behaviour. 78% were drunk at the point of arrest. Mentor UK has been delivering Breaking Out, an alcohol peer education programme, in Polmont since 2012. This grant will allow it to continue delivering this project by engaging young men who have a history of alcohol misuse. It will also work with local support agencies so when the young men leave prison; they have access to appropriate support around alcohol so that they can continue their journey of addressing their drinking after they are released. This in turn can break the cycle of reoffending.
