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

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.

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 Guiding Principles
We work with people in prison or at risk of going to prison who demonstrate and are assessed
as wishing to change their lives and patterns of behaviour.
Every trainee at Landworks is accepted as an individual, addressing their differing and often
complex issues. This is achieved by delivering person-centred and relational work with our
trainees.
Building individual trusting relationships Ts a critical starting point for successful
resettlement.
Landworks has a clear work ethlc. At its core is a structured workday where we build practical
skills.
Landworks believes in a standard of achievement and we identify accomplishment as something
to be proud of.
Landworks allows people to develop a non-criminal identity, developing a sense of hope and
belief that change is possible and encouraging honesty and opennes5.
Landworks offers longer term engagement and post-placement support.
Landworks Is committed to belng informed by evldence and learning from Its experlence,
including through evaluation, to continually improve and develop its delivery model and
activities.
The annual evaluation of Landworks undertaken
by the University of Plymouth recognises that the
combination of real work experience and training
alongside comprehensive support in a highly nurturing
environment is very distinct, if not unique. It outlines
how the systematic 'Theory of Change. {ToCI model
{see diagram on the next page), developed over years
and adopted at Landworks in 2022 as the core vision
to manage the journeys of trainees and graduates,
underpins the holistic service and support that we
provide.

The 'ToC' is informed by desistance theory and
research. Desistance is the term used by criminologists
to describe and explain the challenges that offenders
face and the processes that they navigate as they
make the decision to cease offending.
We would like to acknowledge the use of evidence and
many direct quotes from the University of Plymouth
evaluation document in this annual report.

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.

This year we provided 52 trainee placements lof
which 30 are newl and 1,661 training days. 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.

Reducing Reoffending. 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.

Research, Raising Awareness and Influencing
Landworks is committed to using its experience to engage
the wider community in the issues of resettlement and
rehabilitation and to inform and influence public debate
about the criminal justice system. This is achieved through

information through a range of targeted communications,
with the aim of improving resettlement and criminal justice
processes and systems.

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.
Interviews with the trainees and graduates, undertaken over the year as part of the PeN Project,
identified what it is about Landworks desistance supporting. environment that motivates trainees and
graduates to engage with change and develop a crime-free identity. (The full storie5 can be found at
en

ectlandwork5.or
)Three core themes were identified:
First, Landworks, person-centred approach was highly rated by its trainees and graduates.
Relationships were seen as being based on trust, honesty and respect, and embedded in a non-
judgmental culture of acceptance.

Reducing Reoffending. Transforming Lives
Trainees and graduates a150 commended the way the Landworks project is designed and delivered.
Unlike the chaos of their earlier lives, Landworks offered an oasis of calm and stability where work was
meaningful and structured, and they felt part of a warm and welcoming community. This helped them
to build self-esteem and feelings of purp05eful achievement. Trainees and graduate5 also appreciated
the practical resettlement support, co-ordinated and tailored to their individual needs.

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,

Being able to drop in and talk to staff, and having access to Landworks psychotherapist, helps to alleviate
the pressure and anxiety surrounding their resettlement journey. Of those graduates having counselling, on
average they have eight individual sessions.

A key goal of Landworks 15 to find employment for its graduates as research show5 that having a job is
a crucial factor in successful resettlement. In 2023124, the employment rate for economically active
graduates was 93.2% and this figure has remained constant over the last three years. In comparison,
national statistics indicate that only 26% of people are in employment six months after leaving prison.

'Living proof of active hope,
During 2023124, the PeN and focus group interviews included the VOTces of three Landworks graduates who
have now become part of the staff team. Their personal lived experience of the desistance process offers
trainees and other graduates 'living proof of active hope" (Mabel, Trainee) that change is possible and

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accounling Policies
The principle accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by
Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice, applicable to charities preparing their accounts
in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland IFRS 102) the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable
in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have departed
from the Charities {Accounts and Reports} regulations 2008 only to the extent required to
provide a 'true and fair view,. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting
by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting
by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has been
withdrawn.
The charity meets the definition of a public entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are
initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless othenmise stated in the relevant
accounting policy note(s).
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered in England and
Wales on 15 March 2016.
The funclional currency of Landworks CIO is considered to be pounds sterling because it is the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the charity operates.
The charity reported an unrestricted surplus for the year of £31.256 {2023: unrestricted deficit
£9,081) and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the coming year. The
trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is
secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
(b) Funds
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the
charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for
the particular areas of the charity's work for specific projects being undertaken by the charity-
