Get Onside

Get Onside is the Saracens Foundation's prison provision, aiming to address the reoffending of prisoners in HMP/YOI Feltham and HMP The Mount. 

Over an 8-week course of practical rugby sessions and a classroom curriculum focusing on employability and life skills, twenty men undergo profound changes in their outlook, attitude and behaviour whilst serving a prison sentence. They become part of a team that displays honesty, humility and discipline. 

The course culminates in a presentation game against an external rugby team who train and play together regularly. This full contact, 80 minute game is an opportunity for the participants to invite their friends and family to the prison to see them graduate from the course.

Get Onside

“I was lost before the course with no direction of where to go as I lost everything! But now this course has put myself and my life back together. Thank you for everything.”

Mean Machine 2024

Mean Machine is a celebration of the Get Onside course, happening annually at StoneX Stadium. Every year, a team made up of Get Onside graduates and Saracens staff face off against a team of prison guards in an 80 minute clash under Friday night lights. 

Check out our documentary of the 2024 game now.

£18 BILLION

The economic and social cost of reoffending in England and Wales is approximately £18 billion per year.

15% vs 48%

The reoffending rate of Get Onside graduates is 15% compared to the national average of 48%.

17% WITHIN 12 MONTHS

Only 17% of ex-offenders manage to get a job within 12 months of release. Employed prison leavers are 50% less likely to re-offend than those who are unemployed.

Mentoring

Mentoring is key to the sustained success of the Get Onside graduates. Each participant of the Get Onside course is assigned a mentor through our "mentor speed dating" workshop in the prison who supports their journey through the end of their sentence and as they are released into the wider community. Mentors are also offered specific mentor training to guide them in how to build a relationship with someone who is incarcerated.

Touch tournament

The Touch Tournament happens on week 3 of the course and is a key event in the Get Onside project. Each course we invite our partners, staff and key supporters to come along to the prison in the afternoon and take part in the touch tournament. The prisoners organise, play and referee in the tournament and it is a fantastic opportunity for them to meet people from outside their networks. The Touch Tournament is very often the turning point in the course as it shows the participants that there are people out there who are interested in their success and for the visitors, it is a good opportunity to challenge the preconceptions around prison and inmates.
