About Our Client
At Nacro we believe passionately that everybody has a right to a second chance, where everyone can fulfill their potential.Our core belief is that a good education, a decent job and a safe place to live are what everyone in our society deserves. For those who end up in prison, it's the start of new chance, not a road to nowhere.We all know that having somewhere to live, a job, good health and connections mean someone is much less likely to commit a crime. Sadly, a growing number of people who enter prison are homeless; thousands have mental health problems, drug addictions, are unemployed and/or have bad experiences of the education system. For far too many this stays the same when they're released. This isn't inevitable.As a society we believe that there should be consequences for those who break the law, but we also believe that those who end up in contact with the criminal justice system should be given the support they need to be able to turn their lives around after serving their sentence.Nacro sees that by removing the barriers and giving the right support, thousands of people have the chance to rebuild their lives and their families, and to contribute to our communities.We believe that everyone should have the best chance at a second chance.In the next year, Nacro is likely to reach a turnover of c£100m. This is a growth of over one third in three years.
