Reed in Partnership

CFO Activity Hubs – Providing Offenders with Support for Skills and Employment.

Reed in Partnership’s HMPPS CFO Activity Hubs, part funded by the European Social Fund, provide safe and supportive spaces for offenders to access complementary resettlement services.

This includes individual advice and guidance, peer engagement and development of personal plans to move forward into education, employment or training.

The CFO Activity Hubs contribute to development of the personal skills and purpose needed to desist from offending and integrate into communities through a multi-agency effort to provide a wide range of engaging activities and developmental support.

Reed in Partnership’s CFO Activity Hubs for offenders in London are based in Croydon and Lewisham.

The CFO Activity Hubs are a supportive, comfortable environment and safe space for offenders to access within their community.

A programme of activities and support is available for all participants. These include sports, arts, relationship building and personal developmental activity, coordinated by our Support Workers.

All activities and support align with sentence requirements and license conditions for individual participants.

Participants use the activities and support available to overcome common barriers experienced by offenders, including:

  • Accommodation
  • Health
  • Finance and debt
  • Relationships
  • Attitudes and behaviour
  • Education
  • Employment
  • Substance misuse
  • Domestic abuse and sex working (women only)

Through regular CFO Activity Hub attendance, offenders can change their lives for the better.

"Having someone to contact who has a non-judgemental understanding of my personal circumstances, someone who has a wealth of experience and professional assurance, helped me establish self-confidence as the process of settling back into society continues."
