Grey wind races across the field,Chasing lines carved deep in damp soil,Churned and hacked by plough and harrow.Year on year, turning the surface, Scraping and shaping,Scribing purpose on the land.Rain follows wind,Drawn and driven,Blown over ridges,Filling in ditches,Soaking the dirt.Standing alone in the face of the weather,An old man of the earth.Battered and scarred,Twisted and ripped.Once he stood with others,Young and wild,Bright and beautiful.They raced for the air,Reached for the light,Laughed as they spun and they stretched....

Pathway Mentoring CIC - Unlocking hope for lasting change. Through the gate support for prison leavers and communities.

13/11/2023

Preparing Prisoners for release and supporting them through the gate to enable them to settle back into the community as successfully as possible. The aim is that this will reduce reoffending, by mentoring, ongoing support and by connecting prison leavers into community and faith groups.

1: One to one mentoring and coaching: starting in Prison and then continuing into the community for Prison leavers who desire to live crime free lives. To help them prepare for the changes they need to make and will experience as they move toward and into life in the community and to help establish links into community and faith groups and support.

2: Contextual programmes and projects in Prisons: working alongside HMP Staff and Prison departments to develop and run programmes and projects to prepare Prisoners for release, to help ease the fear of release and to reduce reoffending. The nature of the programmes and projects can be tailored to suit the particular needs and context, with the aim of changing mindset and building confidence.

3: Support and training for Community and Faith groups: working with groups who wish to welcome Prison leavers. This includes advice and training on how to safeguard both the Prison leaver and the community, training on mentoring for Prison leavers and linking known service users into local community and faith groups.
