Nature Of Business: Social Work Activities

Our mission is to reduce youth reoffending through the delivery of an innovative rehabilitation programme to those in prison and those at risk of going to prison. We work in London, Bristol and the South West. The cost of putting one participant through the Key4Life programme is £5,000 versus the average annual cost of a prison place in England and Wales of £37,000. 14% of those who have been through the Key4Life programme have re-offended, compared to the national proven re-offending rate of 64% one-year post-release. Key4Life’s 7-step model is tackling the root causes and not just the symptoms of re-offending. Our independent research study has highlighted the notable impact of Key4Life in developing emotional resilience and employability skills.
