It hopes to address the fact that 74 per cent of young offenders between the ages of 15 and 17 are likely to re-offend within one year.

Sir Bob and guests heard first hand from two former youth offenders how their lives were turned around through the support they found from Key4Life in it’s pilot work in 2011.
