Our project engages with young people (aged 18 to 24 years old) in custody who have had some experience of the care system as a child. The project aims to facilitate contact for the young person with their local authority personal advisor or social worker, and any family members or significant others they may wish to contact. There are opportunities for volunteers to support the 1:1 work with young prisoners and assist with group work. There is also an administration role available for this project based at our head office in Durham.
Locations: HMP and YOI Deerbolt (Barnard Castle)
