Corporate partnerships

Corporate partnerships: organising your content

Even though you want to persuade a company to support you, it will still be an individual visiting your site to see whether to get involved. Make sure it is easy for them to make that decision by including contact details and/or an inquiry form on the page.

Content tips

Appeal to corporate needs by tying the benefits to the company to your charitable goals. You could use headers or bullet points to make them clear and concise, eg:

Provide memorable team-building exercises that transform the lives of...
Make your CSR more than just a box to tick by supporting...
Show the community how much your organisation cares about...

Package up sponsorship opportunities and/or ways to be involved so it is easy to imagine a partnership with your organisation. Include testimonials and case studies from other corporate supporters to make the benefits clear.

Referral details for Hampshire and Dorset. General Enquiries, press and media enquiries.
Mentoring

We offer mentoring and practical support for those who are returning to live in Dorset, and Hampshire. Staff will visit people in prison to assess their needs around housing, education training and employment, finance and debt, mental and physical health, substance misuse, families and children as well as attitudes, thinking and behaviour. The staff will then co-produce an action plan for release with the client.
Our Vision

Our vision is to build stronger and safer local communities by providing person centred support for offenders or those who are at risk of offending, reducing reoffending and increasing life chances. 46% of all prisoners will re-offend within a year of release. For those serving short custodial sentences and young offenders this raises to over 80%.

Approved Premises

Prisoners who are classified as “high risk of harm to the public” often reside in Approved Premises run by the National Probation Service for the first 3-6 months after release. They can be a long way from home, isolating them from positive influences such as friends or family support and making it difficult to secure employment. To address these needs, we are piloting three support and employment schemes at Glogan House, Bridgwater, Dickson’s House, Fareham and the Grange, Waterlooville.
Volunteer for us

Our volunteers come from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, faiths and ages. Each has their own reason for volunteering including a chance to give back and support those less fortunate, to share my life experience and skills, to make a difference, to gain skills or experience to enable students to progress to a career in support or criminal justice services, a chance to expand their horizons and meet new people or to help us fundraise to keep the work going.

Female Out of Court Diversionary Scheme

In partnership with Dorset Police and PCC we have developed Out of Court Diversionary Scheme for women at the point of arrest for the first time or those who have a previous criminal record but have not offended in the past 2 years and are classified as vulnerable. These women are given a conditional caution and opportunity to work with us rather than progressing to court. Vulnerabilities include mental health problems, women living in coercive or controlling relationships, domestic violence
