THE PROBLEM

Around 11 million people in the UK have a criminal record, that’s about 1-in-6 adults. Of these, several hundred thousand are ex-prisoners who we refer to as lived experience and returning citizens. Estimates vary between 400,000 and 500,000 at any given time. Currently, only 31.1% of returning citizens are employed within 6 months, post-release. If this rate were improved to match the UK average employent rate (-75%), an additional 200,000 to 250,000 people could be added to the workforce, contributing to society and giving them a purpose in life.

The Team

What we offer

We are working with many businesses to help them tap into an under resourced workforce. We are helping to place people that have lived experience of prison and those that are in our specialist programmes into employment, either on a temporary placement or as a part of a permanent role.

We have a number of specialist programmes that are working with expert delivery partners to help change the lives of people with lived experience, through crime, underprivileged backgrounds and mental health challenges.

What we need

We are trying to help fix a huge problem and we are lucky enough to work with corporate businesses who support us through fundraising, sponsorsip and donations.

If you would like to talk to us about any of the above please contact us. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

Testimonials

Coming out of prison after many years of going in and out, I carried a lifetime of trauma with me. I had tried therapeutic programs inside but only lasted two days. Project Accountability is trauma-informed at its core. They don't just work around my trauma they work with it, and with me, as a whole person. That's rare. And that's why, for the first in my life, I feel like real change is not only possible it's already happening.

Since coming out of prison, the support I've received from Project Accountability has truly changed my life. They've helped me launch my cleaning business, guided me through registering it with Companies House, and provided invaluable encouragement throughout the process. Their continued support has helped me stay resilient, focused, and committed to a life free from crime.
