Freedom Support Network is a charity organisation whose primary purpose is providing support to BAME women, ex-offenders after release from prison, to help them reintegrate back into society.
We have various programmes that we run to support this initiative. We provide support services such as counselling, life & career coaching, training (personal development and life skills building), skills such as confidence, self-awareness workshops, budgeting workshops, employability programmes, (CV writing, interview preparation, etc), back-to-work training and skills building, business acumen skills, etc). and advisory and sign-posting services to our women.
According to our findings, BAME women are being discriminated against throughout the justice system. BAME women face discrimination in many aspects of life including employment, housing, and social support. This is often compounded by gender and racial biases, making it difficult for BAME women ex-offenders to reintegrate into society and achieve stability. However, with our programmes, we work to improve the lives of our service users and their well-being.
