Our vision

Our vision is to build stronger, more integrated 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%.

The Portland Challenge

I have been involved with Footprints, firstly as a volunteer and then as a member of the staff for many years up to 2018. Supporting local people who are vulnerable and lacking in both practical and emotional support has proved to be worthwhile not just for the individual, but also for society. As volunteers mentoring and helping men and women to try to change is both challenging, rewarding and a privilege.
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.
Life Works

Life Works is a partnership with Parkstone United Reformed Church offering basic skills training, volunteer opportunities and work experience to vulnerable people including, but not limited to, ex-offenders and people suffering from mental health or addiction problems. Support to overcome barriers to work and build self-esteem is also provided.
