 Caring
for Ex-Offenders Training Days are intended to
equip congregations to welcome and integrate ex-offenders
into their church, and to support these individuals
as they rebuild their lives.
Agencies and those involved in the criminal
justice system are also encouraged to attend these
training events to gain an understanding of the
model used to support ex-offenders adopted throughout
the churches.
Our training days have become a great forum for
sharing knowledge and professional experiences.
We aim to bring together churches and organisations
involved in the care of ex-offenders.
We hope to provide an atmosphere that promotes
unity across the network of groups involved in
social action.
