**Community Engagement Officer**
Grand Avenues is an innovative and exciting partnership between HMPPS in Wales and Action in Caerau and Ely (ACE). Initially funded through the UK Government’s Shared Outcome Fund, the pilot is a community-based proof of concept, which is being delivered over a ten-year period in the Ely and Caerau wards of Cardiff.
Our aim is to reduce harm and reoffending amongst an adult male cohort, whilst working with their families and communities in a way that will provide positive intergenerational outcomes. In doing so, we seek to re-imagine how HMPPS - and the wider public sector - works with local communities.

Local people from Ely and Caerau are active throughout the organisation as participants, volunteers, beneficiaries, staff and trustees. ACE manage two community buildings and a community garden, and deliver a range of projects and services that meet local needs, including:
- Community Support including crisis support, financial capability and practical support
- Community Learning, personal development and employability / in-work progression
- Health & Wellbeing work including social prescribing and community health development

- Build a network of community links/services across a broad range need, particularly needs relating to protected characteristics.
- Support HMPPS to understand and articulate the needs of the local community and work with us to tailor services for People on Probation.
