Inclusive Rehabilitation

The Recycling Lives business model is focused on creating long-term positive social impact that changes lives. We help reduce reoffending through employment, support a broad range of disadvantaged groups and are rolling out our social impact projects nationwide

Some examples of our programs include:

ROTL (Release on Temporary License) work program - this program enables us to work with those reaching the end of their prison sentence and are Released on Temporary License. We support these groups into work across a growing number of UK locations reducing reoffending and providing an invaluable opportunity for dozens of men and women annually
Extending our reach - as well as our core offender and ex-offender support we work with veterans, people with mental illness, and those who are at risk of entering the justice system and many others to help as diverse a group as possible
Community partnerships - from offering local unemployed groups training and work opportunities, to partnering with schools and colleges we work closely to help develop communities near to our UK wide site network
Recycling Lives Charity - we work alongside our sister organisation, Recycling Lives Charity, to deliver support for homeless men, redistributing food to vulnerable groups and reducing reoffending
