The Skill Mill provides employment for young ex-offenders in watercourse and horticulture services across the north of England.

The Skill Mill is committed to ending the revolving cycle of crime, by undertaking both water and land based management, helping to reduce flood risk and improve the local environment. This creates a range of social and environmental benefits by directly involving local people in the delivery of the services. The reduction of re-offending, increase in community safety, and the rise in employment and education levels of young people are just a few of the benefits.
