Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

BACO aims to help offenders break their cycle of criminal behaviour and reintegrate back into society as contributing members. We work with the Prison service and Probation but independently of both. We provide small grants to serving prisoners resident in Buckinghamshire's prisons, ex-offenders and those released on licence into the county of Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.
