Prison chaplains do vital work, often with limited time and resources. 57:Fourteen supports chaplaincy teams with training, courses and materials, and helps recruit and prepare volunteers to deliver faith-based courses such as Alpha and Christianity Explored inside prison. We want every person in custody, of any faith or none, to have the chance to explore faith, ask questions and be treated with dignity.
Leaving prison is one of the most difficult moments in a person’s life. For those who want it, we help connect men and women to a local church, and build a circle of support around them. Mentors and church communities help each person settle into life outside, find stable housing and work, and choose a different path. Everything we do is in line with each person’s release requirements.
At its heart, 57:Fourteen is a training organisation. We equip chaplains, volunteers and local churches to support people in the criminal justice system, from delivering courses in prison to mentoring, rehabilitation and practical help with housing and employment.
Training is built around the needs of the individual, with good safeguarding at every stage. Whether you’re new to this work or already involved, we’d love to help you take the next step.
