England and Wales sothere isa huge amount ofaotenSal
In this
area. The Ilrst course was due to start at HMP Pentonvllle,
atthe
prison's
Invitation,
in early 2023, but this was then postponed
until
the Autumn of2023,at HMP Pentonville's
request, due to shortage
afstalf atthe prison. They have requested
that The Recovery
Course delivers a madISed programme
that will help those who are
about ta be rekrased from relapsing
and thereby offending again.
Third, 7he Recovery Course has been expanding
in other
countries.
In Soulh Afrba itruns in churches, rehabs and
townships
and phns are being expbred to run it in secondary
schods. Tothis end a new Manual, especialy focused on those
aged 12-18,isto be developed
in 2023.
The course continues to run in Australia
and there are plans in the
USA to run the oaurse in a number ofUS prisons. We have been
approached
by two prisons and, as whh the UK, itwll have teems
provided
by Alpha ln Pnsans USA, but trained by lhe Recovery
Course. Alpha in Pnfsans has access ta the majority ofthe 151,000
prisoners
in 122Federal institutions.
Asafthe end of2022
progress
in this area has been slow due lolack afresources at The
Recovery Course combined
with the Increased interest from
churches
in the UK that requke training and have priority.
Tothis end, the Trustees are aware ofthe importance
ofliaising
with a ChrkNan
Fundraiser,
employed
fora limited period, in 2023.
Todate, The Recovery Course remains avolunteer orgsnisatbn so
as to keep ils operating cosh toa mtnknum.
