Partners

Delivered by people, backed by data – creating shared value

The Wise Group works with partners who want to do more than manage problems – together, we prevent them. Our strategic partnerships join public, private and social value around the people and places that need it most.

We bring whole-person support, trusted relationships, and powerful data insights that track progress across work, income, health, energy and family stability. Combined, this creates one joined-up offer for households and one set of outcomes for partners.

What we offer

• A single, relational approach that stabilises households and strengthens communities
• Live data and insight that support earlier action and better decisions
• Integrated delivery that removes silos and improves the customer journey
• Shared measurement so every pound – across sectors – works harder

St Giles and the Wise Group are deepening a national strategic partnership to deliver integrated rehabilitation and prevention at scale.

For more than five years, we’ve worked side by side, bringing over 100 years of combined experience in justice, lived-experience support, relational mentoring and whole-family services. Together, we’re building a stabilising pathway for people leaving custody and those at risk of entering the justice system.

When someone leaves prison, housing, health, income, family relationships, work, recovery and energy use all shape whether they stabilise or spiral back into crisis. Too often, those systems don’t join up. St Giles Wise is designed to change that.

What we do together

• One joined-up pathway from custody to community, with trusted relationships that last beyond the prison gate.
• Whole-person support, recognising that most people face multiple, connected needs rather than a single issue.
• Strong local infrastructure, working with housing associations, ICBs, employers, councils, recovery networks, energy partners and grassroots organisations.
• Data and insight at scale, with over one million data points a year across 15 life domains, tracking what drives stability and what derails it.
• Lived-experience leadership, engaging people who do not trust or access statutory systems.

This is a strategic partnership, not a merger or rebrand. It builds on proven joint delivery and a shared commitment to public value, including our evidenced social return for every pound spent and more than £50m in annual social value.

Why it matters

The justice system is under pressure: court backlogs, growing remand, homelessness, mental health crises and stretched local services. At the same time, government is calling for deeper integration across justice, work, health and housing.

St Giles Wise offers a practical answer: a system-integrated, relational model that reduces reoffending, strengthens household stability and improves outcomes across multiple domains.

Work with us

We are ready to work with governments, commissioners and local partners to:

• Design and deliver integrated rehabilitative pathways in place.
• Align justice, employability, health, housing and family support around the person.
• Evidence prevention and public value through robust data and lived experience.
