Red Ochre participated in a conference on social enterprise sponsored by the Ministry of Justice on the 4th of March in London.
Red Ochre had a stand at the conference that attracted a lot of interest from a wide variety of participants. From government officials, the probation services, the National Offender Management Service, NOMS, to organisations that work on crime prevention, supporting ex-offenders into work or out of homelessness and drug dependency or re-offending through to those that work with offenders whilst still in prison. Red Ochre’s support to other organisations operating in these fields and also direct interventions with ex-offenders was of particular interest.
Uday Thakkar, Red Ochre’s Managing Director, also presented a workshop on “BAME Social Enterprises – the missing dimension”. The workshop explored how social enterprise, and in particular BAME led social enterprises, were providing solutions relating to the crime prevention and ex-offender management agenda. The presentation concluded that the social enterprise model was applicable right across the spectrum from prevention to rehabilitation and should be given more consideration and support.
