Our courageous clients

"I wasn’t judged in any way. The staff at R.E.S understand the difficulties of getting back into employment with a criminal background and gave me the confidence and knowledge needed to find employment."

"After being in prison for eight years I found it difficult to find a job. R.E.S were very helpful and friendly, helping me update my CV and gain CSCS training to enable me to find a job."

"R.E.S were understanding people who knew what I was going through. Knowing that those supporting me had also gone through similar experiences gave me hope that possibilities were out there for me."
