The Barrow Cadbury Trust’s Criminal Justice Programme aims to support people who are within or at risk of entering the criminal justice system, to improve their life chances – with a particular focus on young adults. The Trust’s current Criminal Justice work includes:
The Barrow Cadbury Trust is committed to funding grassroots groups working in innovative ways with young adults, who are in or at risk of falling into the criminal justice system. To compliment our work at the grassroots level, the Trust has worked hard at raising awareness of the problems that young adults in the criminal justice system face. In 2005, the Trust’s Commission on Young Adults in the Criminal Justice System launched Lost in Transition, which highlighted the complex needs of young adults. The report received wide-spread support and subsequently, the Barrow Cadbury Trust convened the Transition to Adulthood Alliance (T2A) with the aim to work with like-minded organisations to make real progress in this area. The Barrow Cadbury Trust has also established Transition to Adulthood (T2A) pilots which will test different approaches to improving services for young adult offenders and will tailor interventions to the maturity and needs of the individual.
