Individual Restoration Programme for ex-offenders and those at risk of offending
Renew!
“(Their) ability to deeply communicate with, and draw out astonishing creativity, capability, and genuine heartfelt presentation from within the lives of some of the most extremely emotionally challenged individuals, is something that I have never seen done like this before.” (Lead Progression Facilitator: MIND, UK)
We have over 30 years’ experience of working with the disadvantaged and marginalised in uniquely creative ways that release their long-buried potential, and therefore engender hope and purpose for the future. The Renew! Programme is a highly unique, individually designed programme using motivational, creative and restorative exercises and discussion to enable those who have lost confidence in themselves to be renewed and equipped for life and work.
“The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow our minds to dwell upon” (Dallas Willard).
“Imprisonment” is something that every human being experiences at some point in their lifetime; whether imprisoned in addiction, fear, purposelessness, mental health issues or cycles of abuse. Imprisonment is in the mind, and we are all in need of help out of that, at some point in our lives.Those who are ex-offenders or at risk have greater need, as they also experience rejection by society and sometimes loved ones, as well as a profound sense of uselessness or shame. ‘Rehabilitation’ should be much more than getting out of crime and into so-called ‘productive work’, but renewing their identity and purpose into healthy wholeness.
