John's story

When John left prison, he faced an uncertain future. Fortunately, we were there to help him through the next stage of his life.  

Finding stability at our supported housing

At our Jubilee Project, a 10-bed accommodation for people who have been involved in the criminal justice system, John found a safe space to begin rebuilding. With support from our mental health practitioner, he confronted long-standing struggles, regained stability, and took the next step into a move-on house.  

Building skills for a new future

Determined to create a better future, John completed a business course and transitioned into a training flat with ongoing mental health support.  

One of John’s greatest achievements was reconnecting with his children, a dream he once thought was out of reach. Today, he’s not just building a brighter future for himself but also playing a meaningful role in his family’s life.
