INTRODUCTION
The Clink works in partnership with His Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service to deliver over 30 training projects in restaurants, gardens, canteens, events catering, a bakery and prison kitchens.
2024 will be a very exciting year for the students, graduates and staff at The Clink Charity. Here is a brief snapshot of some of the key projects we will undertake:
Our Clink Events expansion means we will be commissioning a second events training and delivery kitchen, our first located outside of a prison. Being outside the gate will allow us to train
more people released on temporary license (ROTL), employ our own graduates, and offer apprenticeships to people at risk of entering prison, or who have left prison without access to training. Paired with the Clink Events expansion project, we will be able to work more closely with the local communities in which we are already embedded and focus not only on reducing reoffending, but on prevention.
The launch of our Clink Charity Apprenticeship Scheme provides the opportunity for our students to embark on an exciting apprenticeship with some of the UK’s largest employers and secure
a guaranteed job on release. We are pleased to announce that HMPPS has selected us exclusively to pilot apprenticeships in the closed prison estate adding to our existing apprenticeship scheme.
