We work with young people who are at risk of not being in education, employment or training, to ensure that they do not fall in to criminal activity.
We work with young people who are leaving prison or institutions to prevent them from developing into adult criminals by involving them in their communities, developing their skills and getting them work experience. We also work with ex-offenders and give them the opportunity to learn new work skills, gain employment in the ground maintenance or recycling industries, and move into permanent employment – a big step into preventing reoffending.
Additionally, our landscape architects work in communities to develop open spaces and make the most of outdoor spaces while desigining out crime and anti-social behaviour.
