Good Afternoon Totnes 👋

You may recall from a previous Facebook post, in September 2024 Landworks Charity were victim of a burglary where power tools were stolen. An Exeter man was later convicted of the burglary and sentenced to 39 weeks imprisonment. He was also required to pay £2,000 compensation.

Yesterday, PC Shepheard and PC Carter from Totnes Neighbourhood Team visited Landworks Charity in Dartington to donate power tools. These power tools had been seized by Totnes Neighbourhood Team and were due for destruction.

Landworks is an award-winning resettlement charity providing holistic support for those who have been in prison, or are at risk of going to prison. They are brilliant at reducing reoffending and help to turn lives around, which in turn prevents future victims. Landworks provides woodworking, market gardening, pottery and cooking work-experience on their site, as well as practical resettlement support and counselling. Incredibly, Landworks graduates have a reoffending rate of less than 6%…much less than the national average of 46%! This is testament to the amazing work of Chris, Project Director, and the team at Landworks.
