Iʼve raised £200 to help people who've left prison with nowhere to stay on the first night, preventing a return to old lifestyles and enabling ongoing support.

Story
We are `On the Out`, a project made up of men and women who have experienced life in prison. We know the barriers faced upon leaving prison because we have `been there`. This helps us to connect to people who need help upon release. We know that the first day of release can be overwhelming. And that coming out with nowhere to stay can make the difference between a new life, and ending up back inside.
We are raising money to help us fund one night`s stay in a cheap bed and breakfast, when the only other option is the street. This helps us to do our work, and to find longer term accommodation, without `losing` that person to old lifestyles.
We have excellent outcomes through working in this way. Just one night`s accommodation can make a huge difference, when it is part of a planned support package. Please help!
