We work with individuals, prisons, probation delivery units, and communities to establish, maintain and repair relationships that lead to connections that build personal, social, and community capital; building a safer, healthier and crime free future for all.
"I spoke with my client yesterday about how he felt about his Community Order now that he has achieved his requirements and I am revoking his order on good progress. He states that his outlook on Probation and the services we offer has changed his perspective and increased his knowledge of the help and support that is available. He asks me to thank you from the bottom of his heart for treating him as a human, for showing him care and understanding and for allowing him the space in appointments to talk and express his issues. I am truly impacted by your dedication, kindness and compassion. It was an absolute pleasure listening to how grateful he is of your support."

To access these services, people on probation are referred by their Probation Officer. We currently provide specialist support in accommodation, dependency and recovery, and personal wellbeing.
Working in probation delivery units, prisons and community settings we provide rehabilitative support, groups, and peer led interventions that ensure people on probation successfully complete their sentence requirements and stop offending.
"I would like to say thank you so much for everything you've helped me with. A few weeks ago, I was constantly worrying about where I'm going to be in life. Meeting you has helped me in ways more than just housing, I have had the ability to go to work and not worry about the next step because of you. I would give a rating, but to be honest, the rating breaks the scale, you're amazing!"

We believe partnership and a supportive community approach is the only way to truly provide effective holistic services that establish, maintain and repair personal, social and community capital. Connection with others is key to rehabilitation. This is why we have connected to like-minded organisations who provide services, training, and opportunities to our people on probation, our staff, volunteers and peer led initiatives.
Our partners include:
We also work with many more community services connecting hundreds of people on probation to services, opportunities, and events per year.
"Since CRS began, we have had the privilege of working with a forward thinking, dynamic organisation that puts the needs of everyone first, no matter their past. Forward reflect our own values and core beliefs which has allowed us to successfully deliver our programme through the CRS contract on their behalf."
