Our Story

Built on lived experience. Driven by transformation.

3You CIC exists because real change comes from real understanding. Our founder was once inside — supporting fellow inmates. Today, that same compassion is the foundation of everything we do.

Our Mission

To reduce reoffending, restore identity, and empower individuals with the skills, confidence and opportunities to successfully reintegrate into society and build sustainable futures.

Our Vision

To become one of the UK's leading service providers for rehabilitation, personal development and employability support — scaling nationally and impacting thousands of lives.

From Inside, For The Outside

The story behind 3You CIC.

Our founder didn't read about the criminal justice system in a textbook — they lived it. While incarcerated, they began supporting fellow inmates, helping them reflect, plan and rebuild.

What started inside became a calling outside. 3You CIC was born from the conviction that lived experience, paired with structured training and professional delivery, is the most powerful catalyst for change.

Today our team — many with similar journeys, all educated and trained — delivers programmes in community settings and works to extend into prisons across the UK.

"Me. You. We. Three words that explain why we exist — and how change actually happens."

Our Values

Four principles guiding every conversation.

Empathy

Meeting people where they are, with no judgement.

Integrity

Honest about the journey — and the work it takes.

Transformation

Believing change is possible for everyone.

Community

We grow together — Me, You, We.
