reintegration

we never give up on people. ever.

We say yes to giving people a fresh start. We love what we do; that's why we’ve been doing it for more than 25 years. The Pathway story began in 1997, with three guys, a shared belief and a clever idea.

The belief is that people can make positive life changes when given the tools they need and the clever idea was to establish a business that would fund these tools. More than two decades on, Pathway Trust is creating profound social change.

When he’d had enough and made a commitment to change, he found the Navigate Initiative. After being released earlier this year, his fresh start is just beginning.
