Stuart Grainger of Coventry BID has been actively supporting the Coventry Offender to Recovery (O2R) scheme and was honoured to attend the official launch of the programme in the city.

The award-winning Offending 2 Recovery (O2R) initiative, which has been successfully transforming lives and reducing crime in Birmingham since 2018, has now officially expanded into Coventry, Dudley, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. This pioneering programme helps individuals break the cycle of offending by offering support, rehabilitation, and pathways to recovery.

Coventry BID sees this development as a significant milestone in the city’s ongoing efforts to reduce crime and support rehabilitation. The expansion of O2R into Coventry provides an important new tool in the box for tackling offending behaviour and supporting vulnerable individuals in their journey toward positive change.
