PCC VISIT TO FUTURES UNLOCKED OFFICE
We were delighted to welcome the Police and Crime Commissioner to Futures Unlocked to see first-hand the work being delivered through PCC grant funding.
At Futures Unlocked, we work with people leaving prison to help reduce the risk of reoffending. Our support often begins before release, helping individuals prepare for their return to Warwickshire.
The first few days and weeks back in the community can be some of the most challenging, when vulnerability and the risk of reoffending can be at their highest. Our team provides practical, one-to-one support to help people navigate this crucial period and begin rebuilding their lives.
Our trained volunteer mentors then provide ongoing support, working alongside individuals on bespoke plans focused on their own needs and goals. This can include support with accommodation, finances, employment, health and wellbeing, relationships, substance misuse and reconnecting positively with the community.
Ultimately, our aim is to help people build safer, more stable and independent lives while reducing their risk of returning to offending.
We are also expanding our work through Early Intervention, supporting people who may be showing signs of vulnerability or becoming involved with the criminal justice system, with the aim of providing support before problems escalate and further offences occur.
A huge thank you to the PCC for visiting us, taking the time to learn more about our work and supporting the difference we are working to make across Warwickshire.
