StandOut

We empower people to make positive change, realise their potential, and rebuild their lives after prison.
Coaching is deeply embedded in our programme.
Fundamental is the belief that everyone can find their own answers and see change. Partnering with coaches, StandOut participants begin to believe it too.
This feedback sums up what we set out to achieve.
