Every life counts!

Crime and disorder is a significant challenge for many businesses and keeping their people safe is the number one priority.

Safety is put at risk every day by individuals who commit crime against businesses, but in many cases these individuals are trapped in their own series of negative behaviours, with addiction and substance abuse often being a factor; sometimes an impossible cycle to break.

The NBCS Foundation is a registered charity and has been set up to support organisations which offer a range of rehabilitation activities and treatments for individuals whose addiction has resulted in them committing crime against businesses. This approach is key to reducing offending and increasing safety across business.

To the NBCS Foundation and its family of stakeholders including Police forces across the UK we believe ‘Every Life Counts’ and we believe our work can significantly improve the lives of individuals across the UK while supporting a reduction in crime across the retail sector and a reduced demand on UK Policing.

Join the movement and lead the change!

A welcome message from our Chairman, Stuart Toogood

I am a serving Police Officer with the West Midlands Police Service and the very proud Chairman of the NBCS Foundation.

In 2018, I created the West Midlands Police Offender to Rehab Programme, which is supported by the WMP OPCC and many businesses. This programme is all about rehabilitation. It serves to offer those prolific retail/business crime offenders in addiction the opportunity to attend rehab, as well as engaging in other recovery pathways. This has saved many lives, reduced crime, and prevented money going into the illegal drugs economy. It has also reduced incidents of threats/violence to shop workers. I am incredibly proud that the programme won the 2022 Howard League for Penal Reform Award (Adults & Policing Category). This is a highly prestigious award to receive and is testament of the programmes value.
