Changing attitudes, transforming lives and creating second chancesWe are proud that alongside our partner, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, we continue to achieve extraordinary outcomes, meeting our key objective of reducing reoffending. We have done this in an economical way while delivering on our core values of compassion, professionalism and integrity. In an environment that can sometimes seem bleak, with so many daily challenges.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVESThe prisoners at each of The Clink projects work a 40-hour week whilst working towards gaining their City & Guilds qualifications. Simulating a professional working environment, prisoners with six to 18 months of their sentence left to serve volunteer for the programme, going through full-time training in order to reach the required level to succeed in their respective industry.

TrainingThe Clink currently trains up to 200 prisoners a day to gain their Level 2 NVQ in Food and Beverage Service, Food Preparation, Food Hygiene and Horticulture in the following enterprises.

RestaurantsThe Clink Restaurants operate four training restaurants open to the public to dine, located at HMP High Down, HMP Cardiff, HMP Brixton and HMP Styal.

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEWThe Clink GardensThe Clink Gardens operate at HMP Send and HMP High Down. Prisoners work to gain experience and achieve their City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 in Horticulture. The produce is delivered daily to the restaurants along with free range eggs.

The Clink EventsThe Clink Events production kitchen at HMP Downview provides a means for delivering outside catering services beyond the walls of the prison and provides the prisoners, Clink graduates and homeless clients in training with the opportunity to gain additional experience in event catering. We then support the trainees in securing employment at the end of their training.

Mentoring and Support workThe Clink provides an integrated program involving not only formal training but also help and support upon release. We meet our graduates at the gate and find them employment and housing if required. We also ensure that they have a bank account and are registered with a doctor. Our mentors are there 24/7 for as long as it takes to help our graduates re-adjust back into society.

RESULTSNew data analysis from a report conducted by the Justice Data Lab (JDL) and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) in July 2019 provides evidence that prisoners participating in The Clink Charity’s innovative hospitality and horticulture training scheme in partnership with HMPPS reduces reoffending rates, with the report stating the charity has achieved a “statistically significant result”. The report is an extension of a previous analysis conducted in April 2018 and additionally includes the 2016 cohort. The report states “The overall result shows that those who took part in the programme were less likely to reoffend than those who did not.”

The aggregate findings between 2009 and 2016 show that the Clink graduates had a 15% reoffending rate compared to the comparison group’s 22%. This is an improvement of a 7 percentage point difference or a 32% improvement and in the words of the Justice Data Lab “is a statistically significant result.” We were delighted to learn that the results for Brixton in particular indicated a reoffending rate of 11% compared to the comparison group’s 32%. This is an improvement of a 21 percentage point difference or a 65.6% improvement.

Christopher Moore, Chief Executive

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORTReoffending remains one of the most pressing challenges facing society today. The Clink has developed an integrated program that produces excellent outcomes across our training restaurants and gardens. A recent Justice Data Lab report states that we reduce the chance of a Clink graduate reoffending by up to 65.6%*.

Today’s challenge is that there is a population of 84,000**

prisoners in the UK; 80,000 men and 4,000 women. Sadly, 48%*** of prisoners reoffend within one year of release and if a sentence is less than 12 months, that figure rises to 66%***. With a huge skills shortage in the hospitality industry and reoffending costing a total of £15bn a year, training and equipping serving prisoners with key skills, confidence and qualifications is a priority and integral to reducing reoffending.

By transforming the lives of prisoners and Clink graduates it not only benefits them but also their families and victims of crime and society as a whole by reducing crime rates and encouraging meaningful employment.

The Clink has had a productive year where we -• Delivered 250k training hours • Trained 361 prisoners• Awarded 142 certificates• Opened 2 new projects• Hosted a Royal visit from HRH Duchess of Cornwall

I would like to thank The Clink team for their hard work, dedication and support along with the continued support of our partners the Ministry of Justice and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service. Everyone involved has played an integral part in helping us achieve so much and change the many misconceptions of prisoner rehabilitation. Special thanks also go to our generous donors for their support which has made our continued expansion possible, our industry ambassadors who fly our flag and the forward-thinking companies we work with to provide our graduates with employment opportunities.

The Clink Charity is now in its tenth year of achieving stellar results and has one of the lowest reoffending rates in the UK.

The Clink clearly demonstrates what can be achieved when society collectively engages to help those who want and deserve a second chance.

Our menus include descriptions of the units that our students undertake towards gaining their City & Guild’s qualifications. We give our diners the opportunity to learn more about how we train our students and the different food preparation techniques they carry out to get the dishes from pan to plate.

WHAT IS THE CLINK?The Clink operates four training restaurants in partnership with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service at HMP High Down, HMP Cardiff, HMP Brixton and HMP Styal. For our internal and external customers dining at The Clink Restaurant it is a memorable experience where service is second to none and the food offers a contemporary twist on traditional British cuisine, with the menus creatively designed around the changing seasons and local produce.

Each restaurant also offers facilities for business meetings, corporate events and private dining. In addition to The Clink Restaurants, The Clink also operates Clink Café, Clink Events, Clink Kitchens and Clink Gardens. Our chefs work closely with our gardens team to plan the crops so that we can incorporate them into our menus.

The Clink Gardens operate at HMP Send and HMP High Down and work has started on a new garden at HMP Styal. Prisoners train to gain experience and achieve their City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 in horticulture. The salad, fruit, vegetables and herbs grown in the gardens are delivered daily to our restaurants along with eggs from the chickens that are kept and looked after by the learners.

The delicious, high quality meals at The Clink Restaurant are cooked and served by the prisoners in training who are working towards gaining their City & Guilds National Vocational Qualifications in Food & Beverage Service, Professional Cookery, Food Hygiene and Barista Skills. The restaurants allow prisoners to learn, engage with the public and take their first steps towards a new life. All the furniture in the restaurants is made by prisoners at HMP Frankland, poetry is from former Clink trainees and the artwork on the walls is from the Koestler Trust and Fine Cell Work.

10

Clink kitchens continues the success of The Clink training projects by delivering high quality City & Guilds training in Food Preparation and Cookery within the existing prison kitchens at HMP Styal, HMP Risley and HMP Bristol.

Practical training takes place in the work environment with theory and exams taking place in a classroom. A chef trainer and support worker deliver the programme for each site.

The Clink Café is the first project we have opened off prison grounds, set in the heart of Manchester’s city centre.

The Café can be found at Canada House on Chepstow Street, a Grade 11 listed building owned by Kinrise. The Café offers the perfect place to stop for breakfast, brunch, lunch or coffee and is staffed by Clink graduates and homeless clients from Centrepoint. The students are trained to receive their accredited City & Guilds NVQ certificates in Food & Beverage Service and Barista Skills.

1312

Clink Events provide bespoke catering beyond the prison walls and provides prisoners in training the opportunity to gain experience in event catering.

Food is prepared by serving prisoners training in our central production training kitchen at HMP Downview and delivered to events in refrigerated vehicles. We work in partnership with Centrepoint – the UK’s leading charity for homeless young people – to staff the events and give opportunities to young, vulnerable people to stop them going down the route that could lead to prison.Clink Events have catered for some prestigious clients and at some amazing venues over the past year including:• Dinner buffet at the Guildhall for 600 guests at the City Food

Lecture, hosted by HRH Princess Royal• 140th anniversary of City & Guilds, also hosted by HRH Princess Royal• Dinner at the Guildhall for 350 guests at the Evening Standard

Business Awards• Canape reception at the Palace of Westminster for 200 guests for

the Parliament Choir• Drinks and bowl food at Rolls Royce’s head office for 150 guests• A reception for 200 guests at 10 Downing StreetClink Events is eligible to work at many London venues, including but not limited to Trinity House, Guildhall, Bakers Hall and St Paul’s Cathedral.

OUR TEAM TRAINING AND EQUIPPING THE TRAINERSOur Restaurant Manager TrainersWe recruit industry professionals to run our restaurants and kitchens. We then train them to gain their own Training, Assessment and Quality Assurance (TAQA) qualification in order to deliver the City and Guilds National Vocational Qualifications training to the prisoners. The prison service also train and equip our team to work in the prisons with specialist training including safeguarding.

Our restaurant management teams have a wealth of experience, taking on different roles to ensure our prisoner learners get the best experience during their time in The Clink. Their main roles are to be a restaurant manager/chef, catering college lecturer and they are also trained to look after the prisoners.

Our Support WorkersOur dedicated full-time support and mentoring team provide the continuity and cohesion that prevents clients slipping through the net on release from prison. Ex-offenders are often let down at the ‘through the gate’ stage and some organisations will only work with clients for a limited amount of time.

We support graduates for a minimum of 12 months, maintaining support and contact at any time they need it after release from prison. Help includes assisting with employment, housing, debt management, sourcing further education, food bank vouchers and probation appointments.

We have a dedicated support worker fund to assist graduates financially after release. This can provide anything from food to accommodation. Alwin Brown,

Senior Sous Chef Trainer, HMP Brixton

*The Justice Data Lab gives organisations working with offenders access to central reoffending data.

65.6%reduction in reoffending

“I have worked alongside The Clink for the last two and a half years whilst governing HMP Brixton and the partnership has produced amazing results. They deliver a 5-step integrated programme during the prisoners’ last 18 months of their sentence and also support them upon release for the first 12 months into accommodation and employment. The Clink is one of the few organisations that work both sides of the wall and by being integrated; there are no gaps for ex-offenders to fall between. This is a shining example of real ‘through-the-gate’ working.”

David Bamford, Governor, HMP Brixton, April 2019

New data analysis from a report conducted by the Justice Data Lab* (JDL) and the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) provided evidence to show that Clink graduates had a significantly reduced reoffending rate of 15% compared to the ‘control group’ of prisoners rate of 22% amongst its 2009 – 2016 graduates.The report looked at Clink graduates who trained for between six and eighteen months at any one of our four restaurants. To ensure a fair assessment, the graduates were compared to individuals who had not received our training or mentoring but were similar in terms of race, gender and criminal conviction.Operating in HMP Brixton, Cardiff, High Down and Styal, results in some Clink locations were outstanding; HMP Brixton reported a reoffending rate of 11% compared to the 22% in the control group – representing a 65.6% reduction in reoffending in this group.

JUSTICE DATA LAB RESULTS

Clink training is statistically proven to reduce re-offending through its 5-step programme

Clink Graduate reoffending rate 15% vs 22% in offenders without training or mentoring

Results for The Clink demonstrates the lasting impact training and rehabilitation of prisoners can have in society and in the lives of ex-offenders.

In July 2019, an in-depth study examining the reoffending rates of prisoners, found the transformative work undertaken by The Clink is producing far reaching effects.

We are delighted that these results find that The Clink has maintained its strong performance in reducing reoffending rates, and that the JDL identifies that prisoners who took part in the programme were less likely to reoffend than those who did not. These new results have again shown a statistically significant reduction in reoffending against comparative groups at a national level. There are few intervention programmes that have achieved these results and consistently positive outcomes in Justice Data Lab analysis.

WHAT OUR EMPLOYERS SAY...

“Hand Picked Hotels are delighted to work with The Clink this year and have placed our first candidate within one of our Hotel Kitchen brigades.

We look forward to continuing to work together with The Clink to provide second chances and career opportunities in the future.”

Katie Owlett, Resourcing Manager, Hand Picked Hotels

“My time flew when I was training in the Clink Gardens and I really loved it. I learnt new skills, gained a worthwhile qualification and received ongoing support on release. I felt free every day I was there!”

Emma, HMP Send

“My experience of The Clink was fun, insightful and educational because you learn about cooking. It gives people skills they would not have had and gives people a work ethic which is something I never had.” Anthony, HMP Cardiff

WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY...

“Working at The Clink has given me so many opportunities and wonderful ways to learn cooking and catering with full confidence. It is a fantastic, friendly and welcoming atmosphere to be in at all times.”

Sharfin, HMP High Down

“At the most difficult time of my life, the staff at The Clink were the first people to offer me support as ‘a person’ rather than as ‘a prisoner.’ Working there and interacting with members of the public was the first step in regaining my self confidence and being able to hold my head up high.”

Michelle, HMP Styal

“The Clink gave me the skills to enable me to get a job as soon as I was released which completely changed my life and the way I live it. I am now in full time employment working as a chef and I’m loving it.”

Fahima, HMP Downview

“The Clink graduates are reliable and professional. Adrian came to The Etihad Stadium with a great attitude. Adrian’s punctuality is brilliant even though it takes him two hours to get here and nothing is too much trouble for him. The team respect Adrian as a Chef and he is a credit to The Clink by showcasing to the catering industry what is like in the outside world.”

Kirsty Ashman, Human Resources Director Fabulous Fan Fayre at the Etihad Stadium

“In the short time that Fahima has been with us, we have seen her confidence in the job and the team grow. Her skillset is improving every day which will mean there is opportunity for her to be promoted if she keeps up the good work. Fahima has, in a short time, become an essential part of the team at Caravan.”

Shane Pearson, Head Chef Caravan Restaurant

“I think the concept of The Clink is a great thing and something I am passionate about. The work The Clink does is to a very high standard, the training is fantastic and the calibre of learners exceeds expectations.”

David Thomas, Catering Operations Manager, Tatton Park Enterprises Ltd.

“The Clink was a vital part to my rehabilitation whilst in prison. I have now worked at a few events with Clink Events and I’m also about to start college where I hope to improve on my culinary skills.”

Laurent, HMP Brixton

I started working at The Clink in 2015 after being charged with conspiracy to supply. I worked towards my qualification and gained an NVQ Level 2 in Professional Cookery.

While I was in The Clink, I realised that I had developed a passion for cooking which was something I started to consider [doing] on release. I knew that in order to be successful upon release, I had to reach out for help via the Clink’s support workers.

On the surface things seemed to be going well but there was one major stumbling block in allowing me to achieve my goals upon release. Although I had my qualification and had developed a passion for cooking, I was going to be released without accommodation. My support worker reached out to the housing office but I was denied help as I wasn’t seen as a priority. Fortunately, The Clink were able to step in and fund my stay in a bed and breakfast until suitable accommodation was found. Once settled, my support worker put me forward for a job in a private members club where I was successful after having an interview and trial.

I have come on leaps and bounds since leaving prison. Not only do I have a job, I’ve appeared on Channel 4’s Bake Off : The Professionals, I’ve given speeches to members of Parliament about my time in custody and I’m now writing a book which will be published by the end of this year.Kevin – HMP Brixton

“I’d like to thank the wonderful staff at The Clink Restaurant at HMP Styal. I made a terrible decision just over a year ago and received a custodial sentence. I was given the chance of gaining an NVQ in hospitality. I have since been released from prison and found a lovely job in this field. I am in this position and have my confidence back because of The Clink and their amazing work. I know that I would not have had the confidence to do anything like this if it had not been for The Clink staff and their commitment to rehabilitation and forgiveness. My life is now back on track thanks to these lovely people. You have my utmost respect and gratitude. “Paula – HMP Styal

“Whilst serving my sentence at High Down, I worked in the main kitchen and was given the opportunity to work in the Clink restaurant as a chef. It was one of the best experiences I could have wished for. It gave me the chance to get into what I really enjoy which is cooking and with the help of the staff, I was able to gain my Level 1, 2 and 3 City and Guilds qualification in Professional Cookery, which I’m so happy about. Never in a million years did I think at the age of 55 that I would have the opportunity to have a career change. When I ended up in prison I thought my life was over. It was this amazing charity that built up my self-esteem and a new zest for life.

At the end of my sentence my support worker arranged an interview for me at a 4 star hotel in London and after a successful interview, I was offered a position as a commis chef where I am still working 9 months later. I really enjoy the job and hope to progress in the kitchen. I also get involved with Clink Events by helping in the kitchen and get to work in amazing places such as the Guildhall, Westminster and Downing Street, which was such a great experience. I can’t thank the Clink enough for the path they have helped me take.”

I received an eight-year sentence for conspiracy to supply drugs. I was negative and openly admitted that I would continue to lead a criminal lifestyle once I was released from prison. I thought there was nothing anybody could teach me about and that I knew all I needed to know. I joined The Clink to pass some time during my sentence and didn’t want to work as a chef once I was released. Luckily, my family were still there to support me and I had accommodation to return to after prison.

In time, I realised I was learning not just to cook and make high quality dishes using the skills I already had, but I understood that being part of a team and accomplishing things without the adrenaline of living the fast life, was far more rewarding and beneficial in the long run. I had a routine, direction and purpose. The Clink made me grow up.

Opportunities began to come up and I was ready to leave prison after a year of learning new skills and mentoring others that followed me onto the training scheme. After release, I worked at The Holiday Inn, quickly impressing the General Manager and Head Chef, and was offered the job of Sous Chef. Shortly after, the Head Chef left and I took on that responsibility.

Another opportunity came up at a local gym in Cardiff as a chef. I got the job and thrived on learning new skills and responsibilities. I am now the Food and Beverage Manager at the club and am can proudly say that I am now an employer who gives chances to Clink graduates by offering them jobs, mentoring them, nurturing them and helping them reintegrate back into society upon release from prison.

OUR AWARDS

SERVING TIME...In 2019, The Clink Charity partnered with one of the UK’s largest pub groups, EI Group, as their nominated charity for three years. EI Group’s partner, Marston’s Brewery, have brewed a special edition cask beer called ‘Serving Time’ with 25p from every pint sold across their estate being donated to The Clink Charity. The EI Group has demonstrated how collaborations are able to drive a different level of engagement to deliver The Clink’s transformative message to a wide audience. Serving Time is available to enjoy in Marston’s Brewery pubs across the UK.

The Clink Charity and its Restaurants, Café and Gardens have achieved recognition over the last 10 years ranging from the coveted The Princess Royal Training Award in 2019, achieving a standard of excellence across our training in prisons to the Centre of Social Justice Awards, landing a Social Enterprise Award celebrating our work in prisons and the wider community.

Being recognised for our work by institutions such as The Princess Royal Training Awards represents just a glimpse into the hard work and dedication from The Clink teams across our sites, working in challenging environments and delivering our transformative process. Many of the 70+ accolades received in the past 10 years would make any business proud of their achievements. With reducing reoffending at the heart of everything we do, we would like to thank all those involved in helping The Clink achieve the high standards of training and life changing work that has given so many a second chance.
