Prisons And Enterprise

The number of enterprise team members we’ve offered employment, training and housing to so far.

13%

Our 10 year re-offending rate compared to a nine-year national average of 75%. But for many of them, prison is not the end of their story.

100%

Graduates got their qualifications and entered employment. Graduates are team members who finish our two-year programme.

£8,060,000

Over the last 10 years, 89 team members have gone through our two-year enterprise programme in Manchester changing lives for eternity. With it costing the Government £65,000 to house a prisoner in their first year and £45,000 per year after that this has saved the Government £8.06m (based on an average three year sentence).
