Why we need money

  • to reduce crime in Powys by the positive work of volunteers in the community
  • to provide training, support and supervision for these volunteers
  • to give training, work, accommodation and self respect to offenders

We currently have six paid staff and about a hundred trained volunteers. Our annual turnover is in the region of £125 000.
