Putting faith to work – supporting ex prisoners in Bristol. 28th Nov
Putting faith to work – supporting ex prisoners in Bristol.
Come and find out more about an opportunity to make a real difference.
When: Saturday 28th November 2009 10.00am – 1.30pm
Where? ISR - 162 Pennywell Rd, Easton, Bristol, BS5 0TX Tel: 0117 955 7430
We are looking for people motivated by their Christian faith to work with us to support prisoners being released from prison in Bristol. Could this be you, or your church?
“Basic Caring Communities” in Bristol is a new initiative which will provide genuine support to prisoners trying to settle back into the community. The intention is to offer regular supportive contact from a group of concerned volunteers committed to helping the ex prisoner resettle effectively in the community and not re-offend. Coming out of prison can be a frightening and lonely experience. The wish to “go straight” can be very strong, but often the support and help is simply not there. Many prisoners walk out of the prison gate with no one to welcome them back into the community. No wonder then that 3 in 5 prisoners are re-convicted within two years of leaving prison.
What can we do? The “Basic Caring Communities” initiative is a partnership between ISR, PACT (Prison Advice & care Trust) and the Prison Service and we will provide training support and encouragement to volunteers. The role of the volunteers is to work as part of a co-ordinated group to provide a warm human experience of community and practical support.
This is a real opportunity for people motivated by their Christian faith to make a difference to the lives of others and we would like to invite you to become involved in the scheme.
To find out more and consider whether this is for you we are holding a taster session” on Saturday 28th November from 10.00am to 1.30pm when you can come without commitment to find out whether this is for you or your church.
All are welcome to attend but it would help if you could let us know you are coming for catering purposes.
