Sixty-One

Sixty-One is a Bristol-based charity that supports people with a criminal conviction to lead meaningful lives away from crime. We also equip individuals, churches, charities and businesses to provide the relational and community-based support that can empower someone with a conviction to live free from crime.

MentorMe is our biggest project and pairs rigorously-trained volunteer mentors from over 40 local Christian congregations, with men or women with a criminal conviction who are:

- Resident in Bristol

- Ready to move away from criminal activity

- Motivated to work on positive identified goals

Mentoring is non-faith based and is open to people of all faiths and none.

MentorMe receives referrals from statutory and voluntary-sector agencies within prison and in the community.

We also have a strong network of churches across our area that host mid-week welcoming spaces for people with a criminal conviction.
