Keys Community Detox
Keys is a church based detox programme to help people escape from alcohol and drug addiction through integrated medical, spiritual and community support.
Cornergate Foundation works closely with Keys offering a community-based detox service that includes access to a doctor specialising in substance abuse. The service provides for ongoing support during the period of detoxification and allows clients to remain at home whilst coming off alcohol or drugs.
With Keys’ expert training and support Cornergate Foundation has also begun a weekly recovery support group that promotes ongoing abstinence and long term recovery.
Clean Sheet
Clean Sheet is a national charity, supporting former prisoners by breaking the cycle of reoffending with real, sustainable employment. Clean Sheet has so far recruited 94 employers who have signed a pledge to offer work opportunities to ex-offenders.
Cornergate Foundation works through South Hill Church, who are partners with Clean Sheet, to deliver regular training sessions to men at our local prison. The session, called ‘Ways To Work’, inspires, informs and instructs delegates in such things as how to prepare for job-hunting, interviews and the world of work. It also explores the area of self-esteem, seeking to encourage and raise aspiration and to let prisoners know that there are employers who will give them a second chance.
Soul Survivor Watford
This is our home church and the place where guys and girls may attend church if they express interest in the Christian faith. It is a place of friendship, family and worship and somewhere to meet new, positive people who will be pleased to support an ex-offender in their journey or recovery/resettlement.
From SSW website:
“Our vision is to bring the good news of Jesus to all, with a particular emphasis on young people. We aim to equip and encourage people to live the whole of their lives for God.
We’re an Anglican church which means we’re part of the Church of England. We now meet in two warehouses next to each other on an industrial estate in North Watford. Join us for one of our services every Sunday…” [see website].
