Peer Advice Project at HMP Chelmsford - we are currently training serving prisoners to provide an information, advice and guidance service for their fellow inmates.

We also provide a mentoring project which works with prisoners with hidden disabilities such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and other learning disabilities. It builds on the work of a highly successful project provided by a volunteer at HMP Chelmsford who is now working for St Giles Trust.  She trains serving prisoners to become mentors who work with other prisoners with hidden disabilities.  Around 50% of prisoners have a hidden disability such as dyslexia or dyspraxia which can act as a real barrier to accessing education and employment upon release.
