St Giles was run by an innovative and energetic team which needed help with its long term strategy. The impetus for our involvement was to help St Giles focus its work on providing access to housing, training and jobs for ex-offenders. A distinctive element was the peer advisor work in prisons which it has identified as an area of growth. This innovative approach had the potential to help address the problem of high re-offending rates.
