NWF Oct 2022_Documenting Transitions Through The Gate (360G-WatesFdn-a1k6900000NNUAGAA5)

Funding towards two projects: Be Rock Solid and Bars to Business. The overarching aim of each project is to prepare, shape and transition offenders from custody into sharing in the whole life of the community . Offenders completing the projects move forward with a mindset, set of tools and new way of thinking that promotes positive aspirations for a future free from the cycle of the criminal justice system. We have had many positive successes from our initial project delivery. Our work has become the focus of the National Young Adults Project Team, looking at how we can help shape strong rehabilitative cultures in prisons and translate this into positive outcomes for young adults leaving custody. Funding from The Wates Foundation will help us tell the stories of these transitions to raise awareness and share our impact amongst the community. Using videography, experiences and written and spoken word of our beneficiaries, we will capture six transitions from prison to community.
