CFO Activity Hubs is a new project funded by His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), CFO, and part funded by the European Social Fund. The Hubs aim to provide a safe space for people who have been released from prison to build a healthier, more stable and fulfilling life.

Linking community engagement to activities with key support, the Hubs provide a space to learn, develop new skills and meet new people. At the Activity Hubs, Pact provides support for people who want to build and strengthen the relationships that matter to them.

Pact delivers Relationship and Family Coaching at Hubs in the North East of England (Darlington, Middlesbrough and Durham) and the East of England and West Midlands (Nottingham, Leicester, Peterborough, Norwich, Stoke on Trent, Wolverhampton and Birmingham). This Coaching supports people to:

• strengthen/develop healthier family/peer relationships
• improve relationship skills and capacity
• increase family commitment and stability
• increase likelihood of desistance. 

In the North East, Pact also delivers 'community capital' coaching to prepare people for volunteering/giving back to their community. The coaching ends with a Pact-coordinated 13-hour volunteering placement (e.g. volunteering in a charity shop, in a sport club or in a local garden) or activity (e.g. writing an Activity Hub newsletter, offering peer support or talking to students in a local University about their journey).
