The Griffins Society (TGS)
- Group Purpose:
- We support women offenders by offering them voluntary placements with us and other VCS organisations.
- The TGS have women serving prisoners coming to our offices 4 days a week on ROTL. While here we teach them how to update our database, deal with enquiries by email or phone and other office admin duties. We find that after being a volunteer at TGS the women are a lot more confident in their approach to finding paid employment, which we also support them through.
- TGS also do research into women's issues around the CJS and we also run a Fellowship Program (details for this can be found on our website www.thegriffinsociety.org). The application process for this year has now closed but you will be able to apply for next years Fellowship in April 2010. The Fellows receive an allowance of £3,000 which is paid in three instalments, this is to cover expenses such as travel cost and any books they need to buy to help them with their research.
- TGS's WIN (womens information network) database is a resource for vulnerable women who are looking for services in their area which can help and support them. Other voluntary organisations can also find information and publications on our database that they may find
useful.
