The service helps people to access the support services they need to find different paths and opportunities away from crime, making a visible difference to the community.
We work jointly with other agencies involved in the Safer Islington Partnership, and are able to provide early intervention and a holistic service. We currently work with Islington's Safer Neighbourhoods Team (Police), Homes for Islington (registered social landlord), Highbury Grove Crisis Centre, the Drug and Alcohol Action Team and the local Primary Care Trust.
St. Mungo's works in partnership with Revolving Doors Agency to provide and develop this service and we hope that this way of working, and the lessons that have been learned, will be replicated by other local authorities across London
The Service is funded by the Big Lottery, Section 64 Department of Health and Safer London Foundation.
The scheme was praised in the Bradley Review as exceptional.
