WELCOME TO OUTSIDE CHANCE

outside_chance002005.jpgOutside Chance, a Company Limited By Guarantee and a Registered Charity, was formed on June 01, 1998 by Ian Ross, its Chief Executive and the late Martyn Pope-Gilbert, its former Company Secretary.
 
We originally delivered anti reoffending workshops in HMPs Brixton, Wandsworth and Wormwood Scrubs before developing our programme into young offender units and Greater London secondary schools where we continue to operate today.
 
In 13 years, we have  :
  • delivered anti reoffending workshops to 5,500+ male juvenile and young adult inmates in HM YOIs Feltham, Aylesbury, Chelmsford, Reading, Rochester, Norwich and Huntercombe
  • delivered our early intervention workshops to 90,000+ students in Greater London primary and secondary schools with the aim of deterring them from engaging in anti social activities and petty crime in general
  • developed an all-girls workshop module to address the growing problems of low self esteem, gang membership and alcohol-related violence in some female students
  • developed a sexually transmitted diseases awareness workshop which can be delivered to all boys, all girls or mixed groups of students
  • raised over £1.3 million in income
  • achieved 'Investors In People' accreditation at our first attempt and maintained the standard at our three-year review in May 2010, again at our first attempt
  • developed active partnerships with a wide range of penal support agencies, the Met Police's Safer Neighbourhood Teams and local and London-wide youth agencies
