What Trustees Say
Members of the Board of Trustees describe how they feel about their involvement with CRI.
Sir Peter Woodhead KCB, Chair
Sir
Peter Woodhead, former Prisons Ombudsman and current Chairman of the CRI
Board, has a passion for rehabilitation.
"As Prisons Ombudsman, I was very concerned about the large number of people who were released from prison and then were back inside within a couple of years. I felt this failure was partly related to what had happened to them in prison, and partly due to the lack of aftercare in the community. There is a vital need for prisoners to be more effectively prepared for living in the community and CRI fulfils a significant role both inside and out of the prison walls.
"We provide services which help people to change and break out of a pattern
of repeated offending and substance misuse: I am delighted to be involved
in this vital work, which is having a really positive impact on reducing
crime. CRI works with people in a dynamic, enthusiastic and motivational
way. Our services really make a difference and help people realise their
potential for change."
