Prison releases

We meet people on release who are returning to Greater Manchester, supporting them with the things they need to do that day.

We help with things like finding accommodation, benefits, ID, appointments, supporting to access other services

We work with ex prisoners who are struggling within the community, helping both practically and emotionally.

We work alongside other agencies (addiction, homelessness, mental health) to support people with the things they need.

We offer specific support to people who have served long sentences, including IPP.

We also visit people in prison, supporting longer term prisoners as they approach release.

We are the support providers within Manchester CAS 3, working with residents during their 12 week placement in MoJ funded accommodation.

We work closely with probation, forging a fresh approach which values our worker`s experience and insight.

We offer a group development programme (featuring ACT) as well as support worker training for people wanting to join our team.

On the Out workers recieve ongoing training, enabling them to deliver holistic support to a diverse range of people.

Our approach links to criminological research, with desistance promoted daily through supporting others.

Through our University input, we are able to help shape and inform new practitioners around ex prisoner experience.
