Since the launch of the North Staffordshire Chaplaincy Project during June
2004, two dedicated Community Chaplains, supported by dedicated volunteers
and an innovative Multi Agency Steering Group have worked tirelessly to link
with nearly one hundred ex-offenders (clients), to reduce re-offending from the
national ‘norm’ of 58% to under 20%, during the first eighteen months of the
project.
This represents a potential saving of £1.9m and annual savings of £1m –
against a project cost of £1,500 for each of the eighty-three clients who have
received more extensive support. (Edwin Lewis 2006)
