Nacro

What we do

Every day Nacro helps thousands of people build the independence and resilience they need to look forward to their futures. We offer:

Practical help: Our education, housing, justice, and health and wellbeing services support people to put in place the things they need to move forwards and build positive futures. We work collaboratively with other services and providers.

Personalised support and advice: Our practical provision is successful because our approach is one of personalised, individual support for the people we help and their families. Nacro staff are allies of the people we support, standing by their side and fighting their corner.

Campaigning, policy and research: We know that our success is often achieved despite the systems we are working within. So we use our front-line experience, combined with sound research, to campaign for policy and systems change.

Education

We work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in our education centres, many of whom have previously disengaged with learning.

A significant majority of our learners have multiple barriers to learning, including one or more social disadvantage indicator. More than half declare a learning difficulty or disability at enrolment, and 60% are from the 27% most disadvantaged wards.

Despite this, we know our learners have the potential to achieve and we support them to do so.
