As part of their residency at St John’s Approved Premises, Residents are encouraged to participate in a range of rehabilitative activities. For many, access to the skills that will assist them when moving on from St John’s are limited.
For some, many years spent in prison has led to a lack of appreciation for the skills required to live independently. The hostels’ programme of activities has been developed to assess each Residents’ level of knowledge, understanding and capabilities. Each resident will have a programme of rehabilitative activity that is intended to help with reducing re-offending and reintegration into society.
Rehabilitative activities range from offending behaviour work through to life skills and seeking employment and are aimed at providing Residents with an understanding and practical experience of the basic skills needed to live independently.
