If you are interested in employing prison leavers, check this out and speak to your local Employment Advisory Board. You’ll find a lot of superstars who are keen to join your business and be great additions to your team.

There are skills shortages in hospitality, construction, IT, hairdressing, cleaning and many more. Ex-offenders who leave prison with qualifications in industry could help fill the gaps.

A colleague Steve, who’s a serving prisoner on day release, saved a customers life yesterday when they had a heart attack while shopping. His quick thinking, and past career as a paramedic, ensured the customer survived and is doing ok. Thanks Steve for being amazing.

This simple change in the law will cut reoffending, save the criminal justice system time and money, and improve outcomes for offenders who have served their time. #EndFridayReleases

18 months ago I set up the 1st prison Employment Advisory Board (EAB).Now all 92 release prisons in England and Wales have EAB’s,led by inspirational Chairs who help develop long term cultures of employment in the system,and get people jobs on release. Thanks for believing in me!

A huge “thank you” to my wonderful colleagues for achieving a record week…double digit up on last year! Have a rest and enjoy time with family and friends. And a big shout out to 86 of our colleagues who’ll be in prison over Xmas, back in the shops on the 27th on day release.

Great to see the women in our Max Speilmann training Academy in @HMPDownview putting their skills to the test 😀 I got this surprise birthday cake, card and mug when I visited last week. What a lovely gesture, I'm so proud that these ladies are my colleagues. #SecondChances

At Timpson we like to do things for free…all we ask is for a small donation to the Alex Timpson Trust. My late mother was a passionate foster carer, so all the money raised, plus a chunk we put in on top, has paid for 111 foster families to go on holiday this year. Thank you!

Alternatively, we could stop sending so many people to prison. Just an idea. news.sky.com/story/governme…

Director of Diversity & Inclusion and head of the Timpson Foundation @darrenburns60 talks about why they employ talent from prisons. Two reasons: 1. Everyone deserves a second chance 2. It's good for business

As much as the girls love a visit from @darrenburns60 he wasn’t the most popular one in the room this time…Prob something to do with him arriving with our chairman, Sir John Timpson. Tea, biscuits and inspiring stories make for a fab day in work! @JamesTCobbler @HMPDownview

It’s great to see some of our colleagues can now get on apprenticeships while on day release from prison. We have one colleague who’s started and is doing really well….fingers crossed many more will follow!
