My story

Rosabel and I have gone mad in lockdown and decided to kayak 21 miles from Dungeness to Boulogne! We’re training in Hastings throughout July and planning to make the crossing in the last week of July!

We are very much open for business, albeit working from home to protect our team, partners, and Oswinners.

It was very exciting to see Café 16 (our Café and bakery for staff and their visitors in HMP Northumberland) open and doing a brisk trade before the current restrictions came into force.

Oswin Project has been awarded £125,000 by the National Lottery Community Fund over a two year period to help offenders obtain training and work.

The team. To protect everyone and help the NHS we have heeded the call to work from home. We are keeping in close touch with those we work with and are supporting them in any way we can.

Oswin Project has been shortlisted for the North East Charity Awards 2019.  It is one of three finalists for the award of Small Charity Of The Year.
