Our rehabilitation programmes have proven that people can change. We help to prevent reoffending by working with perpetrators to tackle the patterns of behaviour that lead them to offend. These programmes are approved by the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and are delivered as requirements of a formal sentence given by the courts. The programmes are also available to organisations outside of the Criminal Justice System.

We have centres dedicated to supporting low to medium risk first-time offenders between the ages of 18 to 24.
The centres provide fortnightly 3-hour sessions on Saturdays to prevent reoffending by helping young people to:
- Reflect on the impact of their behaviour
- Develop skills for work, managing conflict, and staying safe from knife and gun crime
- Enhance their awareness of the impact of drugs and alcohol.
The courts can give the offender an Attendance Centre Order (minimum 12 hours, maximum 36 hours) as a stand-alone requirement or combined with other requirements. It can be given for non-payment of fines or breach of other Community Orders.
There are individual centres tailored to the needs of young men or women offenders.
Men’s Senior Attendance Centres
As well as restricting the offender’s liberty, this requirement also offers them an opportunity to learn practical skills such as budgeting, and basic life skills such as cooking healthily.
Available in: Croydon, Greenwich, Hounslow, Mill Hill and Stratford.
Women’s Senior Attendance Centre
The centre has experience in tackling key drivers of crime in young women such as coercive behaviour and unhealthy relationships. It is facilitated by female staff and provides access to community support networks to address individual needs such as learning and employment opportunities.
Available at: Camden Women’s Centre.
