Sixty-One is a charity & Bristol based partnership supporting prisoners both before and after release. It grew out of the conviction of church & city leaders that with training & support, the church was well placed to be able to help those with a criminal conviction live meaningful crime-free lives.

Story

Christmas is a very difficult time for people in prison: away from their families, staying in their cells for long hours, and the normal regime put on hold for the holidays. The unexpected gift of a bag of goodies from people they do not know, can really lift their spirits. These small acts of kindness remind them that they are not forgotten, that there are people who care about them and that there is a welcome for them when they are released.

The bags cost about £7.50 each, yet they are received as though they were made of gold.

Please help us by donating to this project, to bring a little joy and hope to prisoners at Christmas and beyond.

(Any donations received over and above the cost of the bags will go towards running costs and work of Sixty-One)
