Para 120	During the period covered by this report, we have worked with 58 prison leavers from 5 different prisons.

Individual clients have been supported to address substance misuse, mental and physical ill health, restoration of family relationships and involvement with volunteering / positive activities. During the period we have supported 28 volunteers and mentors. We have also trained other professionals and volunteers from external organisations, equipping them to work more effectively with prison leavers in a wide range of settings. Volunteer mentors have accompanied clients to healthcare, legal and probation meetings, advocating on their behalf and providing pastoral support. Volunteer mentors have encouraged clients to participate in voluntary activities in the local community. Mentors have provided clients with information and access to specialist services regarding financial matters and accommodation. Mentors recorded supporting their clients for a total of 623 hours over the year. Our location within the St Stephen’s Church Community Café setting has enabled clients to integrate into society, via informal dropin for mentor sessions.
