A project to stop criminals reoffending has been given £40,000.
Thames Valley Partnership has been handed the cash by the Lloyds TSB Foundation For England And Wales.
The project provides volunteer-based mentoring to offenders on their release from jail in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.
Project manager Caroline Stevens said: “Demand for our charity’s services has doubled in the past year and we are also extending our project to young offenders.”
