We are delighted to announce that the inaugural Ruth Mann and Kathy Biggar Trophies, for notable practice in custodial and community settings, respectively, go to: HMP Maghaberry, for “Making visits autism friendly”; and London NPS, for their “Young Adult Transitions” programme.

The other two finalists for the Ruth Mann Trophy were: HMP Full Sutton’s “See the Light” programme (refurbishing fogged windows across the establishment); and the “Problem Support – Peer Mentors Programme” at HMP Wealstun. The other Kathy Biggar Trophy finalists were: the “Student Counselling Service” at East of England NPS; and the “Parent Champions” programme, run by Brilliant Parents for Hillingdon YOT, which supports the families of young people at risk of exploitation.

[NB: the Ruth Mann and Kathy Biggar Trophies are for notable practice, and are distinct from our people-focused Annual Awards. This year’s Butler Trust Award Winners and Commendees will be announced in the New Year.]
