HMP & YOI Parc

Thrilled to celebrate Dylan Buller, a former YO at YOI Parc, who recently won a St David’s Award! His journey of resilience through the Dallaglio Rugby Works enrichment programme is a powerful reminder of the potential within everyone. With the right support, change is possible!

Happy New Year! 🎉 As we step into 2025, we’re proud to continue helping create safer communities and build brighter futures. Thank you to our incredible team, partners and clients for your trust and dedication. Here’s to a year filled with growth, innovation, success and safety!

We are proud of the diverse backgrounds, experiences and talents our veteran employees bring to our team. Their unique perspectives help strengthen our organisation. Whether they are on the front lines or behind the scenes, veterans continue to make an invaluable impact on G4S.

We celebrated our first Black History Month event with a special Family Day! It was an unforgettable day of love, laughter, and learning as we honoured the rich history and contributions of the Black community. #BlackHistoryMonth #FamilyDay #UnityInDiversity
