Story
Young's have partnered with Wooden Spoon, rugby's children charity to raise funds for The Clink who provide an opportunity for offenders to gain new skills and qualifications in catering.
Their vision is 'Changing attitudes, transforming lives and creating second chances'.
The students at each of The Clink training projects train whilst working towards gaining their City & Guilds National Vocational Qualifications. Simulating a professional working environment, people in prison with 3 – 24 months of their sentence left to serve, or those given the option of the course rather than a custodial sentence, volunteer for the programme, going through full-time training in order to reach the required level to succeed in their respective industry.
The Clink provides an opportunity to gain new skills and qualifications in catering and horticulture. They then support the students and Clink graduates to help them secure accommodation upon release. This offers them a real chance to return to the community with the ability to turn their lives around which will cut crime and improve public safety
