INTRODUCTION
At The Clink Charity, our work is split into three pillars:
Creating an environment where people in prison and those at risk of offending are given the skills, qualifications and support to succeed.
Working in partnership with our students, acting on their specific needs, and empowering them to recover and resettle.
Partnering with our national network of employers and charities, we help our students to rebuild their lives and reduce reoffending – for example, by gaining employment.
In 2024, we unveiled the new home of The Clink Charity in Herne Hill, South London. This will enable us to train more people on day release from prison, as well as young people who could be at risk of offending.
We were honoured to be joined by Lord James Timpson, who formally opened the facility in November 2024, alongside a group of funders, ambassadors and supporters.
In addition to training nearly 800 people, delivering 650 NVQ qualifications and managing the release of over 150 of our students, we also trained our first apprentices in partnership with HiT Training – the first time ever these have been delivered through a combination of in and outside prison training.
