JOB DEAL
Delivered in conjunction with Serco, the two-year Job Deal project aims to overcome the barriers and issues faced by young fathers and adult male ex-offenders on their release.
The project operates both in prison and in the community, and with one-to-one support helps to get its beneficiaries back on track through education, training and employment.
