Making It Out

Making it Out provides opportunities and resources to people who are at risk of committing crime change their current situation through art, design and making. Our organisation sits between being a productive manufacturing business and a support service for those in need of a more constructive use of their time. Through involving our participants in the process of designing and making a variety of artistic and innovative products we equip them with the skills, motivation and confidence they need to build and maintain more positive and stable futures for themselves. We are committed to the the principle that creative, practical activity has a positive effect on an individual’s confidence, self esteem and capacity to change. Day to day interaction with others in this setting can provide motivation and momentum to leave negative behaviours behind and start to move forward. We also exist to bring together the local arts, craft and design communities and create mutually beneficial opportunities for training, collaboration and employment opportunities. Working both within the prison system and with those who have recently been released we intend to offer training and skill development, work experience, employment opportunities and support in moving forward towards long term employment.

River Garden Auchincruive

At River Garden Auchincruive, we help people to leave behind their drug and alcohol addiction through a model of recovery that is refreshingly different. Not only are residents given much needed time to reflect on their lives and to grow and flourish, but they are given the means to do so through the communal support of their peers and their participation in on-site social enterprises. Over the 3 years they are resident, they are key partners in a model of social entrepreneurship, of education, of rehabilitation and the opportunity for transformative change. River Garden is exciting and full of hope. We firmly believe that any activity, if carried out with passion combined with training to develop competence, can become a key for reintegration to society. We may be a young charity, but the signs so far are optimistic. Four of our residents have recently graduated and are living independently and working in their chosen fields. They all maintain close ties with River Garden and give active support to current residents as well in turn as being encouraged and supported by them. The active and full participation of all residents is essential for their own recovery journey and to contribute to the economic sustainability of the charity and entire social enterprise that is River Garden, Auchincruive.

Pages Care Farm

We are a private care farm business in Elstree Hertfordshire providing people with special needs and mental health challenges a place to rehabilitate in nature. We believe people with mental health and wellbeing needs should all have the opportunity to thrive outdoors. Our mission here at Pages Care Farm is to contrast the ‘every day’ by giving people the freedom and independence to roam outdoors and care for our farm animals, feeding their confidence and building resilience. We’ll be happy when all rehabilitation journeys for those living in urban areas include outdoor self-care, as we know that caring for nature and animals helps us care for ourselves. It’s why we get out of bed in the morning (even when it’s cold and wet!) and we’d love you to join us. We offer School Group Skills & Therapy Projects, Mental Health Therapy Programmes, Corporate Wellbeing Opportunities and private animal farm experiences to deliver transformative results for our students, volunteers and guests from across North London and the Home Counties.
