NEPACS provides a small grants scheme for prisoners and their families. The scheme, which requires recipients to apply with the support of prison or the Probation Service, offers help to get back into employment or training, and can provide small grants for clothing or household goods.
'Your financial support for my escorted town visit was greatly appreciated. I was able to buy my travel tickets, as well as lunch, and visit the Job Centre, shops and leisure centre to prepare for my resettlement into the community. I couldn't have done it without your kind funding'
'Thank you for giving me the opportunity to step into accomodation that is not a prison or a hostel. Gaining this independence has given me confidence that's been lacking for some time now. I can start my life again'
To apply for a grant, please get in touch with your Probation Officer or Prison Staff, as they will have to fill out the form.
