Connect to Community

Mentoring relationships for men and women leaving prison across Scotland.

Connect to Community supports men and women leaving prison to achieve their goals and integrate into their local community.

Our volunteer mentors can support you with accommodation, recovery, work or training.

If required, a Connect to Community staff member or your mentor will meet you at the gates on your release.

In the first week, you will meet as often as required, before settling into a regular rhythm of meetings arranged between yourself and your mentor for up to 12 months.

Who can join?

Anyone with experience of the criminal justice system.

How to join

You can apply through your Faith Services Team Leader or a Prison Chaplain, ideally 2-3 months before your release but if that has not been possible, please still get in touch.

You can call David on 0141 766 0167 or use the contact form below and we can arrange for a member of staff to make an agent’s visit and connect you to a mentor.
