“Our funded CPT project is currently working with fourteen short-sentenced young ex-offenders, aged 17-21 years old, from Sandwell who have recently been released from West Midlands’s Prisons. We help motivate, encourage and support them in removing the barriers that are getting in the way of them achieving their goals for social inclusion, including employment. So far, five of them got into employment with our support, while the remaining nine are still doing their work placement with the hope to get a job at the end of it. Small amounts of funding can really help turn lives around.” Zino Prince Kashindi, Project Coordinator, Sandwell Youth in Action.

“Tempus Novo are really grateful and excited to have been awarded a grant to further our mission to remove the barrier to employment for people with convictions. This funding will allow us to help so many more people and in doing so the partnership will have a positive impact on society and in so many ways. Having a good job means more than a salary to an ex-offender, it means stability, security, the feeling of self-worth and the ability to support your family. Put simply it’s life changing.” Steve Freer, CEO, Tempus Novo.
