Acceptance

A new book from award-winning charity LandWorks, published to mark its 10th anniversary, throws a much-needed light on the complex lives of offenders, the challenges of rehabilitation, and potential for change.

Called Acceptance, the book combines a powerful and thought-provoking narrative on the day-to-day goings-on at LandWorks, compiled from project director Chris Parson’s regular blog posts and the lived experience of people on placement as they recount their stories in their own words for the PeN project. Since it was founded in 2013, LandWorks has helped over 200 people in prison, or at risk of going to prison, to find a route back into the community and employment through a combination of vocational skills training, practical living support, and counselling.
