Brief description:

Make Time Count Today is a Social Enterprise driving innovation and resilience in the Justice Sector, where our digital solution "will revolutionise UK Policing". Working and co-designing with multiple Police Forces and Service Providers, we have already been able to demonstrate positive social impact in early diversion opportunities, preventing reoffending.
Our mission is to reduce reoffending, transform the way that police work and how offenders are managed and make a positive difference to the lives of victims and communities. We reinvest 51% of profits to support vulnerable people start businesses and encourage those businesses to share our vision, thus creating a resilient ecosystem of support.
What they have said about us:
"Game-changer": London Probation
"A project of immense societal value": InnovateUK
"Revolutionise Policing in this country": Police Project Sponsor
We are winners of:
-InnovateUK Grant x 2
-Police Innovation Award
-Best Digital Transformation Product 2022

Why entering?

The justice sector is not an innovative sector. We believe to drive social impact, the most effective way is through innovative digital solutions, which in our short time as an SME, we have made our mark in this sector.

MTC has been awarded:
- 2 InnovateUK Smart Grants, of which the success rate for applications is only 5%. One assessor described our project as "of immense societal value"

- Presented at the NPCC / APCC National Conference on diversion (National Police Chiefs / Association of Police and Crime Commissioners)
- Our approach to resolving the current Court Backlog using our technology was described by the NPCC as "the golden bullet" (https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/contact-or-visit-us/press-office/press-releases/record-crown-court-backlog-as-long-wait-for-justice-continues)
