| Description | Grant file containing file sheet, correspondence, financial papers, grant terms and conditions and project proposal relating to Nacro. Funding source(s): Barrow Cadbury Fund Ltd. Applicant overview: Nacro is a registered criminal justice charity operating in England and Wales. It was established in 1924 as The Central Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society (Incorporated), renamed the National Association of Discharged Prisoners' Aid Societies (Incorporated) in October 1960 and the National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders (NACRO) in March 1966. This title was subsequently shortened to: Nacro. It developed into the biggest criminal justice-related charity in England and Wales and in the 1970s and 1980s it became involved in policy discussions with the British Government, particularly with the Home Office, which has responsibility for prisons and probation services. Nacro develops its services by using evidence of what works and developing and piloting innovative models to respond to future needs, to prevent crime and reduce reoffending. Uniquely in the UK, Nacro offers a full range of services, based on almost 50 years' experience. Nacro campaigns and act as a public forum, highlighting issues based on our experience, influencing government policy, developing employer engagement and collaborating with partner organisations.
