Monday, 25 November 2024
We are delighted to announce the details of which projects and organisations we funded based on the money received from Society in 2023.
£2,500 was granted to All People All Places a small, locally focused homelessness charity working in the London Boroughs of Enfield and Haringey since 2010. Their mission is to break cycles of poverty and homelessness as they present locally. Currently they have an Enfield Day Centre that provides immediate respite and practical support to rough sleepers and a Night Shelter which provides emergency accommodation for up to six people.
£2,500 was granted to Trailblazers Mentoring. Founded in 1998, Trailblazers Mentoring (TB) offers support to prison leavers through the gate as they transition from custody back into the community. They support approximately 170 men annually at five prisons in London through intensive weekly, one-to-one mentoring sessions and accompanying practical assistance which ensures the essential elements for re-settlement are in place at the time of release and during the critical early months of post-release.
£2,500 was granted to Unlock, established in 2000 by a group of people who had been to prison and wanted to help others reintegrate into society. Through the development of an online ‘DBS eligibility checker’ Unlocks hopes to further support people with criminal records to navigate their way through challenging times, provide research and raise awareness of the systemic issues that people are facing, and campaign for changes to legislation, policies and practices of government and employers.
