As of 9am Friday 30th September we have raised a total of £4,067.50 of our £35,000 target. This has enabled us to enrol the first 2 of the 22 young adults we are aiming to enrol onto our 18 month 'Life Changer Mentoring Programme'.

We just read this article in the Personnel Today 'about a young entrepreneur Jacob Hill who has just launched Offploy, which guides businesses through the HR, legal and ethical minefield associated with ex-offender employment.

Today sees the launch of a new site created by 'unlock', a uk charity that works tirelessly to help people with criminal convictions and we are very happy to see this.
