We predicted this unfortunate outcome. The reality is, without stability, many individuals released from prison face impossible choices. For some, reoffending seems like the only escape. Our model has shown that offering stable employment is the key to breaking this cycle. This process shouldn't begin after release but before prisoners leave the system, ensuring they have a pathway to reintegrate into society. Jobs bring hope, dignity, and stability, and we are committed to working towards solutions that prevent reoffending by focusing on rehabilitation through employment. Facts about our model: - 10 years proof of concept - Less than 5% reoffending rate (national average up to 50%) - Over 100 years of prison experience - Backed by John Lewis, Maersk, GXO & more #Rehabilitation #PrisonReform #BreakingTheCycle

About us
Tempus Novo is delivering what was previously thought undeliverable. Founded and run by two former senior prison officers, Steve Freer and Val Wawrosz and with the support of some amazing trustees, ambassadors and stakeholders, we are going from strength to strength in supporting ex-offenders into sustainable employment. We have created something of a movement as we see more and more people join us to break down the societal stigma that has prevented people with convictions re-entering the workplace. Helping people get back on their feet can't change the past, but it can help to change the future, and with reoffending costing society around £18Billion per annum, it really is time to act. With around 60 businesses now working with us, we are able to create real job opportunities for those people previously without a hope, and have proved that when a business is prepared to offer that desperate person an opportunity it pays dividends. Indeed several of our business partners now boast an upturn in productivity as a direct result of our partnership. This is the level of appreciation ex offenders show after being given a lifeline in the form of employment. Time and time again we receive feedback from employers that our Tempus Novo graduates are amongst the most loyal and hard working employees in the company. In fact our data for 2022 reveals that 1 in 5 go onto gain a promotion. #NoRiskNoProgress

A recent visit to one of our valued partners, A.P. Moller - Maersk, was a huge highlight for us. We visited Maersk’s Tamworth warehouse to speak to the wider team about the progress we have made since the start of our partnership, and the exciting plans we have for the future. A particularly proud moment was meeting with two of our outstanding graduates, Ommer and Sam, who have been thriving at Maersk for the past seven months. Both have earned an 'Employee of the Month' award, having seized the opportunity to transform their lives and excel in their roles ahead of their release from prison in October. A huge thank you to Maersk for believing in our model, and to Ommer and Sam for being a shining example of how corporates can benefit from it! #Rehabilitation #ChangingLives #PrisonReform #LogisticsIndustry

Steve and Valdemar have been invited to attend the official naming ceremony for Maersk’s latest addition to their green fleet, which is a state-of-the-art container vessel powered by green methanol. As our Chief Sustainability Officer, Steve says, “Two world leading organisations joining forces is literally changing lives.

“We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the amazing work each and every member of our incredible Tempus Novo team does behind the scenes. The dedication, passion, and relentless effort they bring every day is the driving force behind our success. Without their hard work, our model wouldn’t even be possible, let alone successful. The impact of their work is felt far and wide. Together, we’ve achieved outcomes that we are truly proud of, and none of it would have been possible without our team. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being the hardworking cogs that keep this mission moving forward. Your commitment inspires us every day.” With endless gratitude, Steve and Val #TeamAppreciation

Nathan's journey highlights the extraordinary dedication of our case workers. 👏 Supported by Fiona, now an Operations Manager here at TN, Nathan experienced first-hand the impact of personalised and hands-on guidance. Fiona went above and beyond, believing in Nathan every step of the way. Their story is a testament to the power of meaningful relationships and belief in second chances for people who society has given up on. #Rehabilitation #Caseworker #PrisonReform #SecondChances
