We are delighted to launch our 18th Birthday Appeal.
https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/happybirthdayWYCCP
Supporting our birthday appeal and helping us raise £18,000 will help men to stay out of prison. We know that at least 70% of the men we work with will be out of prison a year from release and longer – compared to the HMP Leeds average of just 36% of releases. We have a proven track record in making our communities safer and stronger.
To mark our special birthday, we are celebrating:
the fact that over the last 18 years we have supported nearly 2,000 men - helping them find somewhere to live, sort out their finances and deal with their health: with whatever issues they need sorting to get them on track.
our family project: we now support members of prisoners’ families, often the innocent victims of their partners’ crimes.
our free counselling service which helps men to resolve issues that may have led them to become offenders and their families to deal with the emotional impact of their loved one’s offences.
our volunteer programme: over all these years we have welcomed 300 people from all walks of life to join our team and help us to support men and their families. Many of our volunteers go on to work in criminal justice.
One way your donation will help is by enabling us to provide care packages to men leaving prison including essentials such as food, clothing, and household items
