Landworks Trustees, Report Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives Chairman's Message Introducing the Landworks annual Trustees, Report always leaves me with mixed feelings. Genuine pride in the Landworks team who have once again worked so hard to achieve outstanding results - a record number of training days delivered, improved facilities and services offered to trainees and graduate5 alike, and consistently strong performance in reoffending and employment statistics. In July 2024, the team thoroughly deserved their recognition at The Charity Awards, winners not only in the Social Care, Advice and Support category but also the Overall Award of Excellence. community sentencing, our fear must be that such a move would be implemented Simply to reduce over-crowding without proper consideration of the significant investment that would be required into Probation and other support services to manage this shift in policy. But alongside the pride, anger and despair as the Criminal Justice System slips inexorably backwards. The backlog in the courts is at an unprecedented high, with the Crown Court backlog increasing a further 10% last year, meaning that prisons are having to accommodate ever more prisoners on remand. Faced with a crisis in over-crowding, the Government introduced an early release scheme to free up space. 111-considered and poorly executed, this may have freed up a few extra beds but at what cost? Too often simply tipping offenders out on to the street, ill-equipped and lacking skills to help them turn their lives around just makes things worse...for everyone, their victims, the community, the offenders and even the prison service itself when many of those released 60 days early often breached their license conditions and returned to prison to serve the rest of their sentences, likely to be six months or more. Successive Governments have failed the Prison and Probation Service not just through lack of investment but more importantly through a failure to understand that the best way to reduce the impact of crime and reoffending is to develop a robust system, both within prison5 and in Society at large, to offer the best chance for rehabilitation. The past 10 year5 has seen Landworks develop a small but powerful example of what can be achieved. It is now time to take this further and, thanks to funding from some of our long term and generous donors, we will in 2025 launch a 2 year research and policy project entitled 'Reimagining Rehabilitation and Resettlement" seeking to identify the key elements of the Landworks model and how it can be most effectively replicated across the country. As I noted in last year's message, in 2022123 HM Inspectorate of Prisons rated no prisons whatsoever as "good" for the provision of rehabilitation and release planning. So, upon release, it is left to the Probation Service, doing its best whilst remaining chronically under-funded and short of fully trained and experienced staff, to try and steer these people away from a life of crime and towards a better future. Whilst there is now consensus that short term sentences achieve little and should be replaced by some form of Ted Tuppen CBE Chalr of Trustees LandWork8 Tru8t8es'Annual R8POrt lor th& year endéd 31 March 2024 Pag8 3

Objectives and Activities The object of the charity as set out in its governing document is 'to develop the capacity and skills of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of offenders, ex- offenders, and those at risk of offending, in such a way that they are better able to identify and meet their needs, and to participate more fully in society. Cassandra, PeN Project Landworks delivers it5 charitable purpose by providing a supported route back into employment and the community for people leaving prison or at risk of going to prison ILandWorks trainees). Based on the Dartington Hall estate in South Devon, Landworks supports the rehabilitation and resettlement of people either on license following release from local prisons or serving community sentences. We use the structure of a working day to develop skills and work intensively on a one- to-one basis with the trainees, building trusted relationships to help them develop a crime-free identity and transform their lives. We have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are confident that our activities and success in supporting trainees into employment and away from crime satisfies the criteria. Trainees take part In three training enterpr7ses on the site - a sustainably operated market garden, a woodwork shop, and a pottery studio - all offering produce for sale to the local community. As well as developing vocational skills, participation in these enterprises increases self-worth and encourage5 5elf-responsibility. The charity's key aims are to: 1. Reduce reoffending 2. Improve individual wellbeing 3. Change attitudes towards people involved in the criminal justice system in wider society In addition, we aim to continue to fund the project in the long term.

Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives The working day at Landworks includes the daily cooking of lunch for staff and trainees, using seasonal produce grown on site in the market garden. Lunch and tea breaks, when trainees can chat, cook and eat together with staff and visitors, are important times to strengthen feelings of belongingness and enhance social skills. Iz& Alongside these daily activities, each trainee has an individual resettlement plan. We provide a range of support to address their needs including counselling, substance misuse sessions, and support with housing, finances, job seeking, health and wellbeing. Counselling sessions are delivered by our in-house psychotherapist and external specialists deliver tailored support on site as required. Placement lengths at Landworks vary depending on needs and circumstances, but on average they last for about six to nine months. Trainees attend the site for a full working-day, for up to five days a week. After trainees finish their placement, Landworks provides an on-going programme of 'graduate' support, keeping in touch with its former trainees and providing advice, guidance, and support to further aid their resettlement and rehabilitation as and when needed. Referral to Landworks is through our partners in the probation, prison, police and health services. Currently, our trainees are based in the community, serving community sentences, suspended sentences or on licence following release from custody and are primarily referred to Landworks through probation services. ROTL {day-release from prison on temporary licencel placements from our local prison HMP Channings Wood, which used to a key Landworks, source of referral, were suspended during the pandemic and have yet to be resumed. Landworks offers an intensive, prolonged, and bespoke approach, working comprehensively with some of the most socially excluded people in our communities.

Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives A Time For Celebration 2023 marked the 1 Oth anniversary of LandWork5, which wa5 e5tabli5hed in 2013 and became an independent charity in 2016. The 'Annual Supporters Day. which was held on the 14th of July, was used to celebrate this milestone anniversary and 275 supporters, volunteers and partners attended. Professor Nick Hardwick, former Chair of the Parole Board and HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, who spoke at the event, commented that "at a time when the prison system is facing many challenges, Ministers Should note that Landworks provides one of the best examples in the country of how we can reduce reoffending, turn lives around and prevent future victims. Over the past 10 years, Landworks has provided over 200 participants with lifechangin£ placements that are individually tailored to tackle the root causes of their offending. Landworks offers people a safe place to be vulnerable. a place to build trusting, non-judgemental relationships. a place to develop their skills and self.esteem' and above all, a chance to develop a non-criminal identity. 93.2% of former Landworks trainee5 seeking employment are in work, and less than 6% go on to reoffend in their first year. To commemorate and record the first 10 years of the charity, Landworks published a book called 'Acceptance' which is available for purchase through the Landworks shop and website. Acceptance combines a day-to-day narrative of the goings on at Landworks with personal stories from trainees on placement, told in their own words to the PeN IPhotographic electronic Narrativel Project. y sharing these first-hand experiences, LandWork5 hopes to help change public perceptions of people in the criminal justice system and ease their reintegration back into the community.

Most trainees161.5 %) are on license f rom prison while 38.5 % are on community sentences. Landworks continues to maintain constructive partnerships with our main sources of referral in the prison and probation services. Much work ha5 been conducted this year 'building a bigger presence. in local prison5 such as HMPS Dartmoor, Exeter and Channings Wood. Similarly links with the probation service have also been strengthened given their pivotal role in the referral process. Landworks places great emphasis on providing ongoing support to our trainees once they have completed their placements, tailored to the individual needs of graduates. Over the year we have been in contact with 151 graduates, and at any one time we have been providing support and advice to around 12 graduates at higher levels of need at any one time. We have made significant improvements to our site and facilities, increasing the number of raised beds to accommodate more produce in the market garden and replacing petrol-driven ground maintenance machinery with more sustainable and user-f riendly electric tools. We have also integrated cooking and food skills more extensively into the project, under the guidance of Mikey, a former trainee and professional chef who joined the team in January 2024. Over the year Landworks has continued to build and strengthen its resettlement support provision. Most of this support during this year was provided internally, following the appointment of a full-time Resettlement Manager in June 2022. This meant that assistance with resettlement lin such areas as housing, benefits, and general advocacy) could be provided reactively and swiftly particularly in crisis situations, rather than waiting for referral to outside agencies and allowing issues to escalate further. In March 2024, the Resettlement Manager resTgned for personal reasons. Landworks used this as an opportunity to review the role and make changes. (See 'Challenges and Learning,, page 221.

Transforming Lives The evaluation report for the year 2023-24, produced by the University of Plymouth, recognises Landworks critical role in providing a 'desistance-supporting' community which offers 'living proof of active hope,. The report sheds light on the very troubled backstories and chaotic lives of most trainees and provides powerful feedback from trainees and graduates about the impact of the support that has been provided. Pb The report also highlights the fact that, despite the challenges they have faced, the level of reoffending amongst Landworks trainees and graduate5 has remained low at 5.35% and the vast majority of graduates193.2% seeking work continue to be in at least part-time employment. We are hugely grateful for the continuing support that we received over the last year. We are only able to keep going due to our funders, supporters, volunteers, and partners.

Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives Trainee Voices Research clearly indicates that the key to successful outcomes (such as reduction in reoffending) in the resettlement process is the quality of the relationship between service providers and trainees. Landworks supported 52 trainees in 2023124, most of whom had severely chaotic lives and multiple needs resulting f rom adverse childhood experiences, social depravation and exclusion, violence, homelessness, substance abuse, depression and mental illness.

Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives Graduate Support A 'graduate' is a trainee who has finished their placement at Landworks and is living in the community. In 2023124 Landworks was in contact with 151 of its 204 {74%1 graduates. Stopping offending and adopting a non-criminal identity can be a long and arduous journey with many potential pitfalls along the way. Landworks therefore places significant emphasis on keeping in touch with trainees after placement by providing on-going, tailored support. Landworks uses a 'traffic light, alert System to assess the need5 of its graduates and the urgency with which they must be dealt with. 'Green' signifies that the graduate is progressing well and simply need5 a 'listening ear,. 'Amber' mean5 that the graduate may be facing some difficulties that have the potential to worsen if not swiftly addressed. If a graduate is experiencing severe difficulties or in a state of crisis then a 'Red' alert will be flagged up, signifying the need for urgent assistance and possibly even a return placement. 'Red' alerts are rare {4% in 2023124) and the percentage of offenders in the 'Green' category has been steadily rising over the last three years, possibly reflecting that the lives of graduates have been more stable post pandemic. The resettlement journey Graduate support is tailored to individual needs and includes help with housing, mental health, employment, and benefits, as well as being a listening ear. In the PeN and Focus Group interviews undertaken during 2023124, Landworks graduate5 and trainee5 spoke about the practical, re5pon5ive and co-ordinated support they receive: There's all ood suppor+ here lor wha+ever your Prob$ are, you know, whe+her yw need +0 Jen+is+ or sornewhere +0 live, +here's sorneone here +0 help, which is like Probably +he be5+ +hin9 99 Stef, PeN Project LandWork8 Tru8t8es'Annual R8POrt lor th& year endéd 31 March 2024 Pag&19

Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives Challenges & Learning Whilst Landworks had much to celebrate in 2023124, not least marking its 10th anniversary, it did so in the face of significant and ongoing challenges within the criminal justice system. Research shows that high quality probation supervision that is underpinned by secure, consistent and trusting relationships does reduce offending (HM Inspectorate of Probation). However, research also shows that people on release from prison or on community sentences are not experiencing these types of relationships from statutory and third sector agencies. In the aftermath of the pandemic, most have been overstretched and working under extreme pressure, fuelled by shortages of staff and resources which have resulted in large service backlogs and long waiting lists (Prison Reform Trust, 2024). MAND BALM Over the last year Landworks has continued to build and strengthen its resettlement support to fill gaps in provision. Most of this support is now provided internally las can be seen from the statistics in Table 1 } following the appointment of a full-time Resettlement Manager in June 2022. Offering a broad range of practical, financial, social and psychological support at one location helps break down barriers to engagement. and having a Resettlement Manager permanently on site has allowed for a more co-ordinated and pro-active response to trainees whose needs at times of crisis can't be met by external agencies with huge backlogs and long waiting lists. and oi"Ics GARDENERS, HAND BAIth an GA Followin£ the resignation of the Resettlement Manager in March 2024 we reviewed the role and made changes. It was decided that resettlement support entails two quite distinct roles. that is, therapeutic support skills and practical knowledge of the current welfare, housing and benefits systems. In June 2024 a Health and Wellbeing lead wa5 appointed to fulfil the first role. At the time of writing this report, the remit of the second role was still under consideration. However, it is likely that the role will be taken up by an external organisation on a contractual/partnership part-time basis, but still located at Landworks. -11 is ¢ LandMlork8 LandWork8 Tru8t8es'Annual R8POrt lor th& year endéd 31 March 2024 Pag& 22
Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives For trainees and graduates suffering from the effects of complex trauma, the provision of individual counselling on-site by a qualified psychotherapist remains fundamental to our service offering, helping to unlock hidden trauma and enable personal responsibility. This was reinforced in an interview with the in-house part- time psychotherapist undertaken for this year's evaluation. We believe the provision of counselling as part of a 'comprehensive support hub, model has potential lessons for the wider criminal justice system. The PeN project continues to be a significant source of data documenting the success of the Landworks approach to resettlement, and a valuable tool for raising awareness of the needs and problems faced by its trainees and graduates. This year with support f rom the University of Plymouth and some external funding, the research team interviewed or had conversations with a trainee or graduate at Landworks roughly every week. It has become apparent that this opportunity for people to Share their stories is important. it is what is referred to by criminologist5 as 'bearing witness to desistance, This is significant for showing family as well as the wider community how you've changed and are doing good. One of the, perhaps unexpected, highlights of the year was partnering with the University of Plymouth to deliver a unique new criminology and sociology degree module called Inside Knowledge: Crime and Justice in the 21 st Century. During February 2023, students visited Landworks every Friday as part of the intensive 5ix-week module to learn alongside people with lived experience of the criminal justice system. The module provided a powerful learning experience not just for the students but also for the Landworks staff, trainees and graduates involved.

Transforming Lives Financial Review In the current economic environment, fundraising continues to be challenging and we are therefore pleased to report a favourable outcome for the year with total income of £392,22012023: £421,410). Total expenditure was £395,817 12023: £368,281) resulting in a net decrease in funds of £3,597, reflecting a net decrease in restricted funds of £34,853 and a net increase to unrestricted funds of £31,256 before transfers. The total level of reserves held on 31 March 2024 was £364,034 (2023. 1367,6311. It is the trustees, assessment that the charity is a going concern given the future grant funding already secured, the continuing strength of its earned income generation, and the level of its unrestricted reserves. Reserves Policy The trustees. reserves policy is to build reserves equal to a minimum of six months and maximum of twelve months running costs to protect the continuity of the project against fluctuations in income. The unrestricted reserves for the year ended 31 March 2024 were £318,651 lincluding fixed assets of £7,707}, equal to between nine and ten months, running costs. e995 -p• LandWork8 Tru8t8es'Annual R8POrt lor th& year endéd 31 March 2024 Pag& 24
Landworks Trustees, Report (continued) Year ended 31 March 2024 - IiicIIIII()I'l(. Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives Our Team Landworks is staffed by people well qualified to deliver its objectives. The Project Director is supported by an experienced board of trustees who provide strategic direction, and a team of nine other salaried staff with specific responsibilities. As was reported last year, the Charity Manager has been on long term sick leave since June 2022. The Project Director had already redistributed his role to other members of the staff team and filled any gaps with ad hoc paid specialists. However, over the last year the Charity Manager has been doing a phased return to work and is now actively engaged part-time in charity governance, fundraising and influencing policy activities. Recruitment & Training of Trustees Any new trustees are appointed by the existing trustees. Prospective trustees have the opportunity to meet with the Chair and other trustees and to speak with the Project Director, and they are provided with background information about the charity. Following appointment, all new trustees are provided with a copy of the Charity Commission guidelines 'The Essential Trustee,, as well as the charity's constitution, the LandWork5 Handbook and recent annual reports and financial statements. New trustees are encouraged to visit the site and meet with staff and trainees. They all complete Safeguarding adults training. Following the resignation of the Resettlement Manager in March 2024 we reviewed the role and made changes creating two quite distinct role5 covering therapeutic support skills and practical knowledge of the current welfare, housing and benefits systems. The outcome of these changes will be evaluated in next year's report. There are now three graduates working as members of the staff team, namely our woodworking lead, chef and a horticultural trainee. This has been widely supported by all participants in the Landworks project f rom trainees to staff as it adds a valuable component to the working environment. Graduate-staff have ' lived, insight and experience of the criminal justice system, the 'ups and downs. of the desistance process and the realities of resettlement. They are also seen as inspirational, offering trainees and other graduates 'living proof and active hope, that change is achievable. Structure, Governance & Management During the year a new Arts lead was appointed to build arts and crafts activities. A new Chef is also now in post who is a Landworks graduate. He is an advocate of 'healthy eating., making use of Landworks, garden produce and keen to develop the culinary skills of trainee5. Landworks is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation {CIOI, registered as a charity on 15 March 2016. The charity has a governing constitution registered with the Charity Commission. The governing document was amended in September 2020 in order to allow trustees to serve up to three, rather than two, consecutive term5 of office. In 2023 Landworks provided a market gardening apprenticeship to one of its trainees, leading to Royal Horticultural Society level 2 and 3 qualifications. Now a graduate of the Landworks programme he has joined the staff team as a Market Garden Assistant and is attending a course one day a week on regenerative farming and growing. Trustees meet a minimum of three times a year. All trustees gTve their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.
