Services

Naskam offers a wide range of services to the service user, most of which are tailored to each individual needs.
We provide rehabilitation support for people on their release from prison and in particular:

offenders who require secure supervision as part of a Court imposed a sentence
those recovering from drug and/ or alcohol addictions
men and women escaping domestic violence (with or without children)
Men and women with no fixed address.

Overview

We help service users, most who had gone through the criminal justice system and are socially excluded from accessing sustainable accommodations, assess essential and critical services, help them to rebuild relationships communities, support them in their relative needs and aspirations, so they are most able to function and get on with their lives
For each user, we spend several hours providing one-to-one support from one of the support workers. Our support worker helps him/her to set goals and supports him/her to achieve those goals.

As Service Provider

Naskam forged positive links with local organisations that offer support and assistance in providing services and provisions for Service Users, and we are proud that we are unique in the range of services we provide(see services provided). We also have strong connections with a range of referral agencies including HMS Nottingham, Clean Slate and Emmanuel House in Nottingham

Social Exclusion barriers are one of the most high-risk areas most service user’s experiences. These barriers are linked to government policies, local government, and council policies. Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and resettlement are pertinent to reducing offending behaviours. Most Offenders and Ex-Offenders face serious challenges to access support, employment, housing when they leave prison. Due to their criminal record, most service users are left with a limited choice on these key areas which are crucial to rebuilding their lives. Most councils operate on policies that limit the choices of ex-offenders accessing local housing and research has suggested that homelessness is intrinsic to offending and re-offending behaviours. Accessing medical and dental assistance is also challenging for ex-offenders, as most cannot access these service immediately after leaving prison.
