Did you catch Molly's blog last week?
She opens the door to the StandOut coaching room for a discussion on the resilience of the people we work with, and our work to help them to recognise and develop it further.

Resilience. Moving through the justice system & rebuilding a life on the other side requires a lot of it.
Molly – one of our coaches – shares how we empower our participants to recognise & sustain their inherent resilience, for a good life after prison.

Creating different opportunities to connect is an important part of our support for participants in the community.
Last week, we invited a group to join us at @3pillarsproject for boxing!
They had a great afternoon keeping fit & connecting with others on a similar journey.

We've got that 'back to school' feeling!
This week, our prison coaches are out on the landings at HMPs Wandsworth and Wormwood Scrubs, recruiting participants for our first courses after the summer.
Who doesn't love a pair of socks?🧦
People often leave prison without essentials like clothes & toiletries. We support our participants with the things they need to live with dignity.
We look forward to sharing these socks - made by young people at HMYOI Werrington - with them!
ALT A photograph of colourful socks, and the message: "Huge thanks to the brilliant young people at HMYOI Werrington who created and gifted these great socks to StandOut participants in the community!"
“The main thing [I would change] would be, you know, six months before you leave going through some sort of educational workshops or some sort of rehabilitation and through the gate support as well.” - Jason, on his experience
We couldn't agree more 👏

Trust. It's a word we use a lot at StandOut, so we're happy to see it in @cjalliance's report.
Key to lasting change is long-term individual support through relationships based on trust. For those we work with, our coaches become trusted partners in navigating life after prison.
Published this week, 'Time for Change' sets out recommendations for justice reform, through collaboration between government and the third sector.

We're delighted to share that we've received #NationalLottery funding from @TNLComFund for our work with men leaving prison.
Thank you National Lottery players for ensuring more people leave prison empowered to transform their lives and leave the criminal justice system behind.
