How To Get Involved?

Volunteers play a vital role in Nacro's youth projects, community mediation work and its education and employment schemes – and a growing part in our work with prisoners.

Mission Statement/Purpose

Nacro is the leading charity in England and Wales dedicated to making society safer by reducing offending. Our practical services give offenders and those at risk of offending the skills, support and motivation they need to change their lives for the better. We combine services with campaigning: lobbying for better ways to reduce offending, while demonstrating how this can be done in practice.

Charity Profile

Each year Nacro helps 85,000 people in over 300 projects, including supported housing, education and employment services, prison resettlement projects, and positive activities for young people. A Nacro spokesperson said: �Nacro volunteers are a vital part of the organisation. From helping to run sports and activity projects to mentoring ex-offenders trying to turn their lives around, there are opportunities for people of all backgrounds and levels of skill. Some Nacro projects offer training for volunteers to work towards accredited qualifications.�
