“We have continued to work with Framework and their fantastic supported reconnection scheme to encourage some of the Eastern European drinkers to return home after a period of detox. This has definitely played a part in the reduction of incidents and calls in the area as a number of the regulars have now gone home.”
Inspector Jeremy Ellis: Nottinghamshire Police
“...this is wholly positive and I think Framework’s role was fundamental to a multi-agency operation aimed at reducing harm in the community and supporting individuals get back into society.”
