WHAT WE DO
Stepping Stones Trust offers a holistic 4 phase mode for resettlement of offenders leaving prison. Our aim is to provide the framework for each person to move in to crime-free independent living. We do this through working with guys prior to release to assess all of their resettlement needs, then through supporting them once they are released in our Supported Housing Units, or through mentoring. We address both their practical, emotional and spiritual needs once they are released.
Phase 1 – In Prison – Following contact during the last three months of resettlement programmes with prisons, clients are linked on release with local churches, training organisations and housing providers including our own hostels.
Phase 2 – Hostel Accommodation – Hostel provision with key-working supprt together with a structured recovery programmes for a minimum of four months in a general hostel, or two years in a sex offenders’ hotels.
Phase 3 – Move On - Semi-Independent living, in a flat of shared occupancy with floating support and, if required, additional mentoring support.
Phase 4 - Independent Living - Fully independent, in a single flat with floating support, if required, and additional mentoring support.
