THE WELCOME DIRECTORY - helping faith communities welcome people leaving prison.
Established as a charity in 2016, The Welcome Directory has over 250 Faith Communities registered with us, who state clearly that people leaving prison will find a welcome with them. Over the next two years our aim is to substantially increase that number, moving towards our simple yet powerful vision: to help faith communities become places where people who leave prison find acceptance. A place to belong that not only nurtures faith but also offers appropriate practical support.
People are at the very heart of this work; people who have found the benefits of being part of a faith community whether inside or outside the prison gates. If nothing else, we hope that engaging with The Welcome Directory will help faith communities to understand that in a deeper way; that those leaving prison have a name, a story as well as hopes and dreams for their lives beyond the prison gate.
