The charity now operates nationally\, helping over 14\,000 people each year to change their lives for the better. \nAbout the Oswin Project:\nSince 2012\, the Oswin Project has been committed to mentoring\, training\, and supporting individuals with criminal records across the North East. Since its opening in 2021\, Café 16 in the Cathedral refectory has offered meaningful opportunities for people to gain employment\, learn new skills\, and build a fresh start. \nPrisoners who work for the charity inside HMP Northumberland can go on to work in the café on day release or once they have finished their sentence. The charity’s work aligns with the Cathedral Lantern Project\, which seeks to walk and work alongside those facing dark and difficult circumstances in life. \nFind out more and donate £5 today to buy someone a warm meal.
