Key 4 Life - making what if reality

Key4Life

Key4Life is a White City based charity dedicated to reducing youth crime and changing the stigma around offending. The organisation helps to break the cycle of crime by delivering rehabilitation programmes to those in prison and those at risk of going to prison. They also work with the corporate sector to reduce the stigma around employing ex-offenders which is one of the greatest barriers to finding work upon release. The success of their programs is astonishing with participants being four times less likely to offend and four times more likely to gain employment than the national average.
