This year, Collingwood College Fashion Show is supporting Nepacs, a charity based in Northern England since 1882, which supports children and families affected by the criminal justice and social care systems. Maintaining family ties through prison visits can reassure children and reduce reoffending, with research showing a 39% lower reoffending rate for those who stay connected with loved ones.

The work that Nepacs does is invaluable and unique; not only do they run visitor centres, play areas, youth zones, and family days at northeast prisons, but they support children and young people in the community, offering opportunities to connect with peers in similar situations and engage in enriching activities.
