Aims of the project
The project will recruit volunteers from the local area who will be trained to work alongside paid co-ordinators who will provide support to offenders, ex-offenders and their families.

We will also support families with housing and debt issues by giving advice and signposting to other relevant agencies
Referrals
Any agency can refer to the project or families can self refer. All referrals are discussed and allocated on Wednesdays at team meeting. We will contact all referrers and let them know if their referral has been allocated
How the project works
