Football Works Best Practice Handbook 2023
This handbook outlines best practices for using football to enhance physical and mental well-being, promote teamwork, and instill valuable life skills among prisoners. Explore the impact of football, strategies for creating inclusive communities, skill development, leadership cultivation, community outreach, and addressing mental health—all aimed at fostering successful rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.
The Football Works project aims to provide sporting opportunities within prison and use the social value of sports, in particular football, to prepare current inmates with educational workshops and provide them for the time after release so they can be successfully reintegrated into the society and the labour market. This will be done by bringing together various football clubs and prisons across Europe. Therefore, the purpose of Football Works is about trying to reduce the high reoffending rates across Europe by providing employment and volunteering opportunities for released inmates. The consortium believes that sport is the perfect tool for engaging hard to reach groups and reintroduce them to education and prepare for the release.
