PROFESSIONALS working with prisoners, ex-prisoners or those sentenced to community punishments in the North-East will be presented with awards for their efforts to reduce re-offending.
The annual ceremony is hosted by Nepacs, a charity supporting positive futures for prisoners, ex-offenders and their families.
For 2018, the awards have been renamed in honour of Nepacs patron, Ruth Cranfield.
Awards will be presented by Dame Glenys Stacey DBE, HM Chief Inspector of Probation, at an event on Monday, September 24, at Lumley Castle.
Helen Attewell, Nepacs chief executive, said: "I am delighted that yet again we will be able to showcase award winners from across different sectors in the North-East who really are going above and beyond the 'day job' to make a positive change and offer hope for a better future for people with a troubled past."
