Key4Life, which started in Bristol, has helped more than 1,000 men get into work after prison.
Key4Life was set up in Bristol to help ex-offenders get back into the world of work and has since supported more than 1,000 men across the country.Danny, 26, came out in November and said: "I want to change it for my kids, just give my kids have a chance in life and make my family proud of me."The charity's CEO and founder, Eva Hamilton MBE, said getting into work "is absolutely key.
"There ain't no rehabilitation in the prison. When you leave you're left with £76 discharge grant and a bus ticket to go home." "This includes creating detailed pre-release plans to address resettlement needs such as accommodation, employment and finance. "It's really important for our business to get involved with Key4Life to give these boys an opportunity to get into business," said Zoe Joyner from Avonmouth-based catering equipment company Nisbets."Meeting Eva in prison that day, I just really didn't know what it would all become," said Liam Meredith
