Rehabilrtate offenders, both before and after release.. Train and engage with the horne$ and long-leftn unemployed to grve options and OpportuneS,. and Educate the Trusys supporters about the reality of Iwes affeded by crime. Funding stratogy The focus of grant making for our ch8nty is now to enab indtvidual(sl to ap for an 'award' that recognises, rewards and nurtures aspirab.on and talent The focus is on enabling the indNK1ual{sl to do something life- changing that- without the MVMF funding- they would not be able to do. By way of example onty, such 'transrtion grants, may include.. paying for pre-empbyment training., travel expenses for an intemshipl experience, equipment for 8 coursetjob. Awards might also be appli&Y to a group of indNiduals setting up a small Sla1 enterprise. to gain experience to make them work ready. This may include in-prison workshops that provide tutoring to enhan offender5, life skills and so improve their resetuement chances on release. We fund either alone, or in collaboration MVMF Partners (including Fine Cell Work, Watts Galiery Trust and the Prison Refom Trust). We partner wrth them on In"ale$ that nKfytivate those individualslclients with whom they work to appty for funding by the MVMF for a grant In this, we soek to make the MWF more PfOaCtive- rather than reactive to appltcations~ and to ensu that our grants make a real difference to the prospects ofthose indNiduals we Th)st seek to benefit The objective is also to continue the Fund's ethos of wofking in partnership where possible.. using the [er of the collective purse to fund innovation and tant devebpment that mtght not happen otheNise," responding quickly to need., and nLtrturing talent. Public Benefft The Trustees are of the opinion that the objects of the Trust o)nstitute clear public benefit. They also believe that all the projects and organisab.ons that the Trust has SUF)Wrted also provide public benefrt and that there is no detriment resulting from its actrvrties that should be offset against the benefit that it provides. Operntions During the year under review, the Trustees receNed a perntsge from the sale of arrkS at an in-prison art exhibition. and several generous donations.
