The impact of the voluntary sector on reducing crime

In category Crime and reducing re-offending

As part of Safer Future Communities (a national Clinks initiative – see www.clinks.org), we have produced three impact statements about the voluntary sectors role in reducing crime and reoffending, improving community safety and supporting victims, for the new Police and Crime Commissioners: for the Cleveland, Durham and Northumbria Police Force Areas. This has been on behalf of Middlesbrough Voluntary Development Agency and Voluntary Organisations Network North East. They can be downloaded here: Cleveland, Durham and Northumbria. These impact statements are supported by an evidence base, presented as an appendix. This can be downloaded here.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

"Barefoot did a fantatsic job of our evaluation. In particular, their approach to working with our service users was very impressive. The evaluation has answered many of our questions, but also asked us more, which gives us a great opportunity for the future."

Jayne Butler, Manager, The Comfrey Project

"As an organisation we felt that Barefoot did an excellent job of listening and understanding the needs of our review... We were thrilled with the final report; as well as being a very good read, the presentation and quality was excellent."

Cath Carnaby, Manager, Women's Health Advice Centre

"I am pleased with the honesty and thoroughness with which he (Christopher) dealt with the project. Thanks to the evaluation we now have a number of questions answered and a clear way forward."
