What was Refresh? 

in 2016 we secured Ministry of Justice funding to deliver Refresh in HMP Holme House. Refresh delivered life coaching and practical training support.

 

The project comprised of life coaching for job readiness, incorporating the development of employability, enterprise and leadership skills; and participation in a practical One Awards accredited Level 1 qualification in Cycle Maintenance which taught learners how to restore an unusable bike to a serviceable standard.

​

Who did Refresh help? 

Refresh supported adult males (18 years plus) within HMP Holme House. We delivered this project in partnership with Middlesbrough Environment City with the focus on preparing people to re-enter the jobs market and help people back to work.

​

What support did Refresh provide? 

Over the course of the project, we delivered a total of 72 life coaching sessions to some of the hardest to reach offenders. In addition, 26 learners with convictions attended Cycle Maintenance training.
