| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 120 | During the period covered by this report, we have worked with 50 prison leavers from 5 different prisons. Mentors have supported some clients to remain in the community, as opposed to returning to custody, for periods more than 140 months. The Ministry of Justice cost of prison report states that one prisoner detained in a Local prison costs £51,724 p/a, suggesting that CCN has had a significant positive impact on costs to society. Individual clients have been supported to address substance misuse, mental and physical ill health, restoration of family relationships and involvement with volunteering / positive activities. We have 22 active mentors having recruited 5 new mentors in the year. We have also trained other professionals and volunteers from external organisations, equipping them to work more effectively with prison leavers in a wide range of settings. Volunteer mentors have accompanied clients to healthcare, legal and probation meetings, advocating on their behalf and providing pastoral support. Volunteer mentors have encouraged clients to participate in voluntary activities in the local community. Mentors have provided clients with information and access to specialist services regarding financial matters and accommodation. Mentors recorded supporting their clients for a total of 550 hours over the year. Our location within the St Stephen’s Church Community Café setting has enabled clients to integrate into society, via informal dropin for mentor sessions. |
