100 & FIRST FOUNDATION
100 and First Foundation works closely with offenders, ex-offenders and those vulnerable to committing crime so that they might not face social exclusion or disadvantage when trying to access different functions of society. Our projects help our beneficiaries shift their identity from pro-offending to pro-social so that they might see themselves differently in the world around them.
