Collaborate to deliver Social Value with the brand new eco-prison HMP Millsike, in conjunction with PeoplePlus
PeoplePlus will be supporting 1,000’s of prisoners for the next 10 years at the UK’s first all-electric prison, HMP Millsike. We would love to partner with employers to provide meaningful training for the men here – to prepare them for release and give them meaningful routes to employment. There are a significant number of ways to help prisoners - many more than you may think. Here are some of the ways that you could get involved, either in preparation for release, or through the gate - all of which will derive significant social value as part of the rehabilitation of offenders.
Improve what we teach
- Influence and co-design our curriculum
- Mentor and support our prison education vocational trainers.
Improve employment prospects and train an untapped talent pool
- Let our learners know what it’s like to work with you and the key attitudes and skills they need to succeed in work. You could record a talk or build and virtual work experience environment
- Deliver talks to learners in the prison
- Attend careers fairs at HMP Millsike
- Hold mock interviews for prisoners
- Mentor prisoners close to release to be job ready when they leave
Improve the working environment
- Brand a vocational workshop to look like your business, so learners are training in a professional environment
- Donate materials to be used in our workshops, e.g. wood, bricks, tiles, paint, vices, saws, brushes
Bring your organisation as a paid industry
- We need ‘industries’ for the prisoners to work in and we have space in our workshops for your business.
- If you need people to do work for you which can be delivered from HMP Millsike this is a cost effective solution as there is no need to recruit and quality assurance and supervision is provided for you
