The Organisation:
The Hardman Trust is the only UK charity focused specifically on the needs of people on long term sentences. We support people during their sentence, as they prepare for release, and as they settle back into the community. Our vision is a future where everyone can achieve their potential within and beyond prison.
To find out more about The Hardman Trust, visit our website.
The Role:
The Hardman Trust is at an exciting point in its development as it celebrates the arrival of its new team, the realisation of its first ever strategy and looks forward to the next phase of its journey.
Our recently successful applications to both the Lottery (Reaching Communities) and the City Bridge Trust means we will continue to be part-funded by them until 2027. Deeply rooted in the criminal justice sector, we plan to develop further our programme of support for those on long sentences both within and, we hope, beyond prison too; we aim to extend the reach and deepen the impact of our support and grants; and attract new partnerships with funders and like-minded third sector organisations. We have recently completed a merger with another charity and are open to further such mergers in the future.
