Key4Life - Our background

Key4Life was formed in 2012 as a direct response to the riots across England in the summer of 2011. Those riots and the high levels of re-offending by young ex-prisoners brought home to us the scale of the problem facing many of our young people today and the extent to which many of them are becoming adrift from mainstream society.

It was apparent to us that there was a need for a new innovative approach to support the rehabilitation process for young ex-offenders and help them on the path to stability.

We have identified five main areas of help:

Help the offender to see life differently by offering new ways of thinking and a new approach.
Show the offender how they can fit back into society and understand the valuable contribution they can make.
Help the offender overcome difficulties in accessing opportunities such as work placements and jobs.
Offer ongoing support to offenders pre and post release through mentoring.
Offer family and community support, particularly to families of young offenders who feel isolated. Family support is often critical in assisting the young offender on a new path and Key4Life encourages positive relationships through its activities.
