Justice, Resettlement and Early Intervention
6 In, 6 Out
Funded by: The Welland Trust
Delivery: One 12-month project
Who it supports: Care-experienced people preparing to leave custody and rebuild their lives in the community.
6 In, 6 Out supports people through the crucial resettlement window — six weeks of wellbeing and personal development support before release, followed by six weeks of structured support after release. The programme bridges the gap between custody and community, when practical pressures, uncertainty and the risk of disengagement are at their highest.
- Six weeks of pre-release wellbeing and preparation
- Six weeks of post-release support and relationship-building, with optional further support
- A personalised Release Roadmap covering goals, support needs and next steps
- Practical tools for emotional regulation, resilience and healthier decision-making
- Connections into community services, positive networks and longer-term opportunities
The aim is to strengthen stability, reduce isolation and help participants build a safer, more positive future beyond custody.
Streets to Strength
Funded by: Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland
Delivery: Three cohorts over 12 months, until April 2027
Who it supports: Young people aged 11 to 16 who are disengaged from education and at risk of exclusion and/or criminal activity.
Streets to Strength is an intensive, early-intervention programme combining trauma-informed wellbeing, lived-experience mentoring and sustained follow-up to help participants understand their story, manage pressure, make safer choices and reconnect with positive opportunities.
- A four-day intensive cohort experience focused on identity, triggers, conflict, choices and future pathways
- Credible lived-experience mentoring and honest, non-judgemental conversations
- Six weeks of follow-up mentoring to embed learning in everyday school and community life
- Wellbeing monitoring and clear outcome reporting to support early intervention
Across three cohorts, the project will support young people to build resilience, improve engagement and move from risk towards strength.
Recovery, Community Insight and Healthier Futures
Reset & Rewire
Funded by: Carlton Hayes Mental Health Charity
Delivery: Three cohorts over 6 months
Who it supports: Adults in recovery who are referred through Dear Albert.
Reset & Rewire is a safe, practical and trauma-informed group recovery programme. It uses plain-language neuroscience, reflection and hands-on tools to help people understand how addiction, trauma, triggers and automatic habits shape behaviour — and begin building a recovery identity that feels realistic and sustainable.
- Understanding addiction, triggers, habits and automatic responses
- Learning how trauma and the nervous system influence reactions
- Developing emotional regulation and healthier coping strategies
- Rebuilding identity, self-worth, personal values and confidence
- Creating an individual recovery plan with practical next steps
Three small-group cohorts over six months, providing structured support that complements existing recovery services.
Together We Thrive
Funded by: Leicestershire County Council and HDRC Leicestershire
Delivery: Research project until 31 October 2026
Who it supports: Local residents, community organisations and partners whose experiences can help shape better wellbeing support.
Together We Thrive is a community wellbeing research project exploring how people, place and everyday life influence health and wellbeing. It places community voices and lived experience at the centre — helping identify local strengths, barriers and priorities that may not be visible through statistics alone.
- Listening to residents and community partners through accessible engagement activities
- Exploring how local environments, relationships and services affect wellbeing
- Identifying strengths, gaps and opportunities for earlier, community-based support
- Sharing learning to inform future wellbeing services, partnerships and research priorities
Running until 31 October 2026 — building a clearer, community-informed picture of what supports people to thrive.
