THE BAR CODE PROJECT

Reducing reoffending is essential for building a safer, fairer, and stronger society. It eases pressure on overcrowded prisons, saves billions in public costs, and breaks the cycle of crime that traps individuals and communities.

To achieve this, offering services that combine mindset training and calisthenics to inmates and those nearing release is critical.

Our programmes address mental clarity and provide direction, empowering individuals to rebuild their lives through a progression based approach.

By introducing mindset training together with calisthenics, we create opportunities for personal growth and physical well-being, all key components of successful rehabilitation and reintegration.

"Many of the men who watched and learnt from you yesterday, would welcome the opportunity of following a programme and I believe that the setting of personal goals and ambitions throughout the process of calisthenics builds into the bigger picture of setting up goals for life."

CALISTHENICS

Calisthenics provides a transformative foundation for rehabilitation, empowering individuals to regain control over their bodies and minds through DISCIPLINE, CONSISTENCY, and DELAYED GRATIFICATION.

By combining physical fitness with personal development, ours programmes help participants build mental resilience, foster self-discipline, and develop a strong sense of accountability which is key to achieving lasting, positive change.

Ultimately, our aim is to provide a powerful route to self-development, helping learners rediscover their strengths, unlock their potential, and create a path towards a healthier, brighter future.

MENTAL MASTERY

MINDSET TRAINING

Mindset training is a vital tool for those transitioning from prison to society. Resettlement after all, brings challenges such as finding employment, securing housing, and rebuilding relationships, all of which require resilience, discipline, and determination.

Goal setting is a key aspect of this process. It provides direction and purpose, breaking larger challenges into manageable steps and building confidence with each milestone achieved. This approach instils accountability and empowers individuals to take control of their lives.

When paired with structured activities such as calisthenics or creative outlets, this type of training can really help close the gap.

Ultimately our programmes help learners embrace new opportunities and approach life with determination helping build foundations for long-term success.
