Prison Fellowship Scotland

Charity registered in Scotland SC002222

Prison Fellowship Scotland is a Christian charity working with the men and women in Scotland's prisons. Through our partnership with the Scottish Prison Service, we support chaplains in these prisons by running programmes that allow people in prison to explore and respond to the Christian faith and to take responsibility for the harm they have caused. We also support the families of those in prison. The motivation behind our work is compassion and a belief that God is in the business of restoring lives. The people we work with have had their lives torn apart by bad choices, often as a result of childhood trauma brought upon by neglect and abuse. There is a huge issue of prisoners repeatedly reoffending often with only short gaps between finishing one prison sentence and being caught in the next crime and finding themselves back in Prison. We call this “the revolving door”. Our desire is to intervene through compassion, prayer and support to assist men and women to break this cycle.
