Chaplaincy teams and volunteers are on the front line of prison ministry. 57:Fourteen provides training, courses and materials to help you deliver faith-based courses such as Alpha and Christianity Explored in prison, and to support the people who attend. We’ll help you prepare well, understand the prison setting and work safely, with safeguarding at the centre of everything we do.
Many churches want to welcome people leaving prison but aren’t sure how. This training equips your church to support, encourage and assist people returning to the community, through mentoring, rehabilitation and practical help with challenges such as housing and employment. You’ll learn how to build a circle of support around someone, work alongside other agencies and welcome people well, whatever their background.
Training is just the start. Explore the practical ways we support people in prison and on release, and see how you or your church can get involved.
