Platform-tracked outcomes
— Live counts from the system itselfPlatform launched 2026 — all figures update in real time as delivery is logged. Pre-platform delivery figures (150+ ex-offenders supported, 5,000+ young people reached) reflect a decade of in-person delivery before this system existed.
These counts are queried live from the platform tables. They do not include in-person delivery Derrick has already done at HMP Pentonville, YOI Isis, HMP Belmarsh, Bollo Brook and the Ealing community sites, which pre-date this system.

Methodology & citation
- Sample (n = —): ex-offender pathway participants tracked end-to-end via session_id since 2015 across HMP Pentonville, YOI Isis and HMP Belmarsh, with community follow-on in Ealing.
- Comparator: HMPPS proven reoffending baseline of 38.0% (MoJ Proven Reoffending Statistics, adult offenders, 12-month follow-up).
- MEM modelled rate: 0.0% — a —-point reduction vs the national baseline, derived from confirmed re-conviction events in our cohort over the same window.
- Status: internal modelled figure pending Justice Data Lab matched-cohort verification (request templated below). Funders should cite as "MEM internal cohort, n = —, pending JDL verification".
Independent evaluation — on the roadmap
Planned output: MEM Reoffending & Wellbeing Study 2025–2027 — a peer-reviewable evaluation combining JDL-matched reoffending data with our ONS-4 wellbeing and IPAQ activity capture.
External evaluator: currently seeking a UK university partner in sport & exercise science or criminology. Funders and academics interested in co-leading the evaluation are invited to get in touch.
Express interest in evaluating MEMModelled rate = HMPPS baseline × (1 − MEM avoided %). Pack includes methodology, sources and a Justice Data Lab matched-cohort offer for MoJ commissioners.
A real journey
— One participant, told straight"I was introduced to Derrick from MEM Academy by Pavlos at HMP Pentonville. I told Pavlos I wanted to become a Personal Trainer after release — he booked an appointment for me to meet Derrick. I was very inspired. A week after release, Derrick called me to get on a personal training course. I've now been attending for over 2 months."

Where coaches come from
— Live referrer attribution · for commissioner reportingEvery referral and self-referral is tagged with a referrer organisation type. This is what unlocks NHS, MoJ, Sport England and local authority commissioning conversations — funders can see exactly which referral pathways their cohort came through.
Outcomes we're capturing now
— Live evidence collection · Sporting Impact community project (2024–2028)Across all six active Sporting Impact sites in Ealing, MEM is already capturing outcome evidence session-by-session. The data below is being collected live and will form the evaluation pack shared with commissioners.
Session-by-session attendance logged across all 6 Sporting Impact sites — showing which young people stay engaged and for how long.
Collecting liveValidated wellbeing scoring captured at the start and end of each cohort block across Ealing delivery sites.
Collecting liveEvery young person tagged by referral source (school, YOT, social prescriber, family) — unlocking NHS, MoJ and local authority reporting.
Collecting liveTracking participants who move from community sessions into Level 2/3 fitness courses and onward into placement or self-employment.
Collecting liveCost-per-engagement and cost-per-sustained-coach for commissioner business cases (Sport England, ICB, PCC, Lottery).
Collecting liveWith consent and data-sharing agreements, tracking re-offending and ASB outcomes among MEM participants vs. comparable cohorts.
Collecting liveSporting Impact contract runs to 2028 — giving MEM a four-year longitudinal evidence window across the same six community sites. Aggregate dashboards available to funders on request.
