Calling all VCS organisations working with offenders - promote your organisation and win a prize!

Clinks' new, improved Working with Offenders Directory is ready for organisations to submit their details. Do this by 25th September and you could win 50!

Listing an organisation's details is FREE, quick and easy to do online. It enables you to promote your organisation's work to all those who use the Directory, including VCS organisations, prison and probation officers, commissioners and offenders.

Clinks are offering 80 worth of high street vouchers for two organisations who complete the registration by the end of September. The prize draw will take place on the 28th September 2009, and only organisations who have registered their organisation by this date will be eligible for prizes.

Clinks' Working with Offenders Directory is a comprehensive, online database of services to offenders in prison and the community. It provides details of voluntary and community sector services available to offenders and their families to aid the rehabilitation process.

The new version includes an improved search function which allows users to search for services in a particular area, or type of service offered, for example. It is free of charge to use; ensuring a comprehensive listing of organisations and access by a large audience. Once populated the Working with Offenders Directory will be the first port of call for information on services to offenders.

To list your organisation today, visit www.workingwithoffenders.org
