The C.E.L.L.S - Choices, Education, Lifelong Learning, Skills

The C.E.L.L.S Project is a Merseyside based charity formed in 2010 to meet the need for youth crime prevention on Merseyside and the UK. We facilitate innovative crime educational programmes to young people, who otherwise would be unaware of the consequences of crime.

We deliver a series of bespoke presentations and packages, the flagship of which is our mobile prison on wheels experiences HMP Turnround. HMP Turnround is a preventative visit to prison, incorporating governors receptions room, holding area and replica functional prison cell. All out presentations are undertaken by our highly trained and experienced team consisting of rehabilitated ex offenders, ex prison guards and victims of crime all with the same aim of making young people aware of how crime effects all it touches.

Our programmes are widely acknowledged as being a unique and proven crime deterrent with staff that young people can relate to, because we have this unique approach the young people listen and learn. When they have an understanding of crime & its consequences we signpost them to alternative activities including vocational training and entrance to employment.

The benefits of these events within the community are endless, what we are trying to offer is not just a crime prevention presentation but a sustainable combination of interactive educational & activity based programmes that will replace any potential anti social activity.
