Social Value session with Atos
24 September 2025
Today, we delivered a Social Value session for Atos and their clients, the Ministry of Justice Commercial Team.
The session explored the significant challenges faced by people leaving custody and highlighted the vital role 11:11 Prison Support plays in providing practical and emotional support at this critical transition point. We facilitated an engaging presentation and interactive Q&A, enriched by powerful insights from our lived experience consultant, Paul.
The session concluded with a hands-on activity, during which care packages containing essential items for women leaving custody were assembled. These will be distributed by members of the team in early 2026, helping to ensure that women are met with dignity, care, and practical support as they begin their journey back into the community.
The session provided a valuable and impactful opportunity for the group to hear directly from professionals working in this field, and we look forward to developing a close and collaborative partnership with Atos in the near future.
KPMG Employability Day at HMP Hindley
April 2025
On a beautiful spring day, we welcomed our client KPMG into HMP Hindley to support the delivery of a communication skills workshop with a group of men in custody.
The session focused on empowering individuals to communicate effectively and confidently with prison staff, potential employers, and their wider support networks. Activities covered key areas such as active listening, the power of first impressions, and the impact of body language.
The workshop was extremely well received, with very positive feedback from the men, who engaged openly and enthusiastically throughout the session.
“It’s great to have conversations with people from outside and to know that someone cares”
“It was a great session and gave me new skills I can use in prison and beyond”
