We are extremely delighted to announce the launch

We are extremely delighted to announce the launch of our newly designed website www.insideout.wales. After months of hard work and dedication from our team, we are finally ready to unveil the finished site. The website is easy to navigate, user-friendly and packed with useful content on reform matters. One of the websites aims are to showcase the multiple services we offer; We hope you have as much fun exploring the site as we have had creating it.

As a new social enterprise, it’s important for us to illustrate the services we offer to the community, and how best clients can utilise these. The website aims to highlight the achievements of current and potential clients, giving a platform for clients and relevant organisations to showcase positive movements made within reform and reducing reoffending realm.
Our goal with this new website is to make our services more accessible for those who wish to utilise our services. We are a friendly, dynamic team who are all passionate about change, and helping individuals achieve their potential through change. We are a forward-thinking enterprise, who welcome partnerships with other organisations.

We look forward to working with you and forging great links over the coming weeks and months.

Many thanks

Last week we formally launched Inside Out Support

Last week we formally launched Inside Out Support Wales and the 'Cefnogi Project' at Twenty Nine Park Place, Cardiff.

Pictured are our directors: Mira Amin, Christopher Leslie, Jamie Grundy & Marc Lewis. Thanks to everyone who came and make sure you follow us and #CefnogiProject for more updates. We were delighted to see such a great turn out, special thanks to all our supporters including our family & friends. If you missed the launch, check out our highlights - ‘Launch Event’ 👆

#MeetTheTeam - “With lived experience of the pri

#MeetTheTeam - “With lived experience of the prison system I can relate to and help people who use our support services to rebuild their lives through work and education. With a depth of insight of life behind bars and as one of the first people on ROTL (Release On Temporary License) to study at university, I have truly experienced all the challenges that one could face in my journey to rebuild my life. From breaking barriers into work/education and social inclusion, I understand how important it is to have a supportive structure and network for anyone wanting to rebuild their life after prison. I am employed, I am studying and I am also proud to be a part of Inside Out Support Wales where I can support and inspire others to have the same.”
- Chris, Co director

Chris’s significant lived experience inside and outside of the criminal justice system contributes towards the authenticity of @cefnogaeth, a community interest company. With this aspect, Chris highlights how supportive groups and organisations can help create opportunities for people with convictions. In addition to studying in HE, Chris works as a Project Worker working with vulnerable adults in the substance misuse and mental health field. Chris and the team aim to help close the gap between self-employment, employers, education establishments and people with convictions. If we can help you, get in touch.

#MeetTheTeam - “When I started my PGCE in Cardif

#MeetTheTeam - “When I started my PGCE in Cardiff, I was asked at my interview where I’d like to have my teacher training based. To this day I still wonder why I said: a prison. I started my career as a teacher in a non-conventional way - teaching offenders. It didn’t take me long to realise that I believed change was possible and second chances are there for those who want it. So I guess that’s why I chose to teach in a prison - because everyone deserves an opportunity to educate. Simply put, I think recovering from any setback, downfall and mistake is probably the most bad-a** thing any human can do. Seeing this happen in front of my eyes through the power of education has been the most rewarding part of my career to date. I am thrilled to be a part of @cefnogaeth where I can continue supporting individuals post-release in areas of social and emotional well-being, to help them integrate back into the community and positively contribute towards it.”
- Mira, Co-director

Mira designed and taught a well-being support course for offenders at Her Majesty’s Prison Cardiff. The course was created by combining the well-being needs of offenders and her own lived experiences. She has supported people in areas such as self-esteem building, decision making and most importantly resilience skills. All of which are essential for the path of recovery.

As Cardiff Prison’s first female BME teacher, her teachings also underpinned the understanding of equality and diversity - a key part of successful integration into work and life in the community. By providing people with conviction this support merged with work and education opportunities, we can build people who contribute positively to our society. Mira and the team aim to help close the gap between self-employment, employers, education establishments and people with convictions. If we can help you, get in touch.

#MeetTheTeam - “I have been working in accountan

#MeetTheTeam - “I have been working in accountancy for 15 years, and through this I have met a diverse range of clients and colleagues, but I have often felt the urge to expand out of private practice. Inside Out Support Wales has presented me with the opportunity to take my profession into an area where I can make a real and significant impact. In turn, I am learning a lot from my involvement with this team, given the diversity of backgrounds and qualifications at our disposal. It is an experience I have greatly enjoyed so far, and I’m enthused by the prospect of what is to come. It’s also given me the opportunity to dust off my long-underused Welsh translation skills.’’ - Marc, Co-director

Marc’s significant skills and experience in finance and accountancy have contributed towards the business development of @cefnogaeth, a community interest company. Marc has recently supported @g_e_fitness to write up his business plan for self-employment. Marc and the team aim to help close the gap between self-employment, employers, education establishments and people with convictions. If we can help you, get in touch.

#MeetTheTeam - ‘’I'm very proud to be a part of Inside Out Support Wales also known as Cefnogaeth Tu Fewn Tu Fas Cymru. For the last few years I've have met many people both inside prison and out, who needed a type of support that didn't seem to be out there. As soon as Inside Out Support Wales was created the response, not only from these people but also the other organisations working in the field, has been so very welcoming. Our metaphorical phone has never stopped ringing off its metaphorical hook! A lot of thought and effort went into getting us this far, from all us involved, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.’’ - Jamie, Co-director

Jamie has extensive experience in working with individuals and groups within criminal justice and rehabilitation. He has supported many people with convictions into further and higher education and recently helped @g_e_fitness with his business plan. Jamie and the team aim to help close the gap between self-employment, employers, educational establishments and people with convictions. If we can help you, get in touch.
