Bthechange is an organisation that specialises in providing life-changing initiatives for individuals at risk of entering or who are already in the criminal justice system. Bthechange CIC operates in the Southwest of England, South Wales, and mid Wales, and partners with various institutions including the Police, courts, Probation, Prisons, and statutory drug and alcohol providers. Commissioned Programs and Partnerships 1. Police, Courts, and Probation Programs: bthechange works closely with these organisations to deliver programs that help first-time entrants, racially minoritised individuals, and women to move forward positively with their lives. These programs aim to reduce recidivism and provide support to individuals at critical points in their involvement with the criminal justice system. 2. Prisons and Statutory Drug and Alcohol Providers: The organisation collaborates with prisons and drug and alcohol service providers to ensure comprehensive support for individuals struggling with addiction. 3. HMPPS Commissioned Rapid Support Program: bthechange is commissioned by Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) to provide a rapid support program specifically for Integrated Offender Management (IOM) clients who are in crisis upon leaving prison. This program aims to provide immediate support and resources to help these individuals reintegrate into society. Target Groups and Initiatives First-Time Entrants: Programs designed to divert first-time entrants from further criminal activity by providing them with bespoke support. Racially Minoritised Individuals: Tailored programs that address the unique challenges faced by Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people in the criminal justice system. Women: Initiatives specifically aimed at supporting women, who may face different and often more complex issues compared to their male counterparts. The support focus on maximising the dignity for women who are in the criminal justice system Impact and Reach bthechange CIC reaches over 1,000 individuals annually through its various programs, making a significant impact on communities and individuals who are at risk of or involved in the criminal justice system. The organisation also engages with over 2,000 school children annually through crime diversion programs aimed at preventing youth involvement in criminal activities.
bthechange is committed to fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration across multiple sectors to support the criminal justice system and broader community well-being. Engagement in Prisons: Each month, we engage with approximately 80 individuals in prisons across the Southwest through forums designed to listen to and learn from those directly impacted by the criminal justice system. These sessions are invaluable in understanding the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals, ensuring that their voices are included in efforts to improve prison conditions and rehabilitation processes. Collaborative Partnerships: Our efforts extend beyond the prison walls, as we actively collaborate with a diverse range of partners. We work closely with HMPPS (Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service). Additionally, we partner with the Devon & Cornwall Independent Community Panel for the Scrutiny of Stop and Search, a critical initiative aimed at enhancing trust and transparency between law enforcement and the communities they serve. This panel focuses on accountability, fair policing practices, and training to ensure justice for all community members. Colab Exeter Host organisation for the STaR project): In partnership with Colab Exeter, a multi-agency wellbeing hub, we strive to create environments that enable individuals to lead fulfilling lives and organisations to maximise their impact. Colab exemplifies our commitment to holistic and integrated approaches to community well-being, bringing together diverse stakeholders to support individuals and foster community resilience. System Change Action Alliance (SCAA): Our work with the System Change Action Alliance (SCAA) embodies our dedication to systemic change. This partnership brings together the voluntary sector, public sector, health services, and commissioners to advocate for a human-centred approach to supporting individuals with complex needs. We focus on reshaping services to be more responsive and tailored to the needs of individuals, ensuring compassionate and effective support. Leadership in Criminal Justice Reform: Our CEO is the representative of Devon VCSE (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise) organisations on the Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB), he collaborates with key criminal justice agencies to address a range of issues, from investigation to reducing recidivism. Chaired by Alison Hernandez, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall, the LCJB unites leaders from essential criminal justice agencies, including Devon & Cornwall Police, the Crown Prosecution Service, and His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service. Together, we pursue both nationally directed and locally driven initiatives to enhance the effectiveness and fairness of the criminal justice system. Advocacy for Reoffending Reduction: The CEO of bthechange is a representative for Clinks on the Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group (RR3), he serves as a vital link between the voluntary sector and the Ministry of Justice. This group of senior experts meets quarterly to provide strategic advice and feedback on policy developments, with a particular focus on supporting racially minoritised individuals within the criminal justice system. Our advocacy efforts aim to ensure that these communities receive equitable support and opportunities for rehabilitation. Commitment to Systemic Change: Working with community-based organisations bthechange is dedicated to creating reflective spaces, driving systemic change, and advancing our mission to build a more just, equitable, and inclusive society. We believe that sustainable change requires a multi-faceted approach, integrating education, collaboration, and systemic reform. Our work is deeply rooted in the belief that by bringing together diverse perspectives and fostering
