First Dates' Fred Sirieix behind plans to open a restaurant in a Welsh prison

A charity founded by First Dates' maître d'hôtel Fred Sirieix, which has partnered up with training provider NOVUS Cambria and DesignLSM to transform prison staff canteens into high-end restaurants, has plans for one to open within HMP Berwyn Prison in Wrexham.

The Right Course, created by Sirieix, aims to provide industry-standard training, support and employment opportunities for people in prison.

Speaking previously of his charity and what it does, the French Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip star said: "The Right Course’s aim is to reduce both re-offending and the staff shortage in hospitality. Our learners can help plug this gap, if they are given the chance. Our learners play their part by using their sentencing to reskill but we need to give them the right support and opportunities so that they can make the right steps upon release. Right now is the perfect time to start a career in the hospitality industry”
