Speaking about being shortlisted, Tracy Wild, CEO, said: “The Charity Times Awards recognises leadership and best practice in the charity sector – we are delighted that we have been shortlisted. This shows the hard work and determination of our staff to deliver great results despite the constant challenge of a changing Criminal Justice System. Most importantly, it reflects our commitment to help our clients coming from prison to believe in their ability to change so that they can successfully live crime-free.”
