What others do and how they do it...Inside-out – Learning for lifeWe aim to give people a taste of the real world through our communityprogramme. Prisoners work with local physical disabilities groups,residential care home. They also go out to Charlton Athletic and LeytonOrient football clubs, and London Towers Basketball team. Local communitygroups also use our swimming pool, which has been a great success.We’ve now set up a social enterprise company, Health and FitnessSolutions, where prisoners and the company are paid to deliver variousqualifications, team building and healthy living courses to externalcompanies, schools, health clubs etc. We’re providing a good service to ourclients, but most of all, it has been good for the prisoners, some of whomlater secured jobs in health clubs and other firms.
