About Oswin Project

The Oswin Project creates second chances for people with criminal records across the Northeast and beyond. We provide training, mentoring, and access to employment, offering the opportunity to develop new skills, attitudes, and ultimately a new way of living. We currently operate three main initiatives: -Supported Access to External Employers: providing CV development, help to find work (including through our network of employers), assisting with disclosures, and we support people to access relevant training to secure work. -Café 16: We run a training bakery and cafe inside HMP Northumberland and a Cafe inside Newcastle Cathedral, staffed by serving prisoners and people with criminal records. -Gardening & Maintenance: a team of people providing landscaping, property maintenance, and painting and decorating services. Whatever the initiative, everyone we work with is provided with a tailored package of support and regular mentoring to suit their needs and aspirations. By supporting us, you are allowing us to break the cycle of re-offending by: - Providing support and mentoring leading to employment - Sourcing training and the opportunity to gain qualifications - Re-building confidence - Facilitating work experience - Encouraging social inclusion - Becoming a contributor to society rather than a dependent
