"A skill is a key, that leads one out of impoverishment. It will pay him over and over again"
Mission Statement
Our mission is to use creative methods to reduce re-offending, utilising innovative vocational programmes and workshops. If a female offender is looking for work, it is not unusual to find that there are a number of needs that must first be met in order for her rehabilitation journey to be successful. Ultimately, we aim to liberate and empower women to be self-sufficient in order to break the patterns that cause them to re offend.
