We go out on the wings, from cell to cell, supporting people through difficult situations like grief or loss. We also give out books and materials. A Mother’s Day card and stamp, for example, can help someone stay connected with a loved one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603d0832dde1340721bf5950/1658486219601-JRBEL3CQDR6XJYWPTIJV/unsplash-image-xxHDLWmc1wE.jpg Prison - Courses and services We partner with prison chaplains to facilitate courses like Alpha. We also help with chapel services on Sundays, bringing people together in worship and supportive community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603d0832dde1340721bf5950/0c4202ec-77b0-437a-8dcf-57c7c7e3eea6/Michael+looking+to+side.jpg Prison - Helping prepare for life after prison Leaving prison with a plastic bag of possessions and a discharge grant of £89.52 is tough – especially if there’s no one waiting for you. So we help people get ready. We connect them with someone they can meet on release, who’ll welcome them into community. This puts people in a much stronger position to rebuild their lives and avoid a return to prison. https://www.actoxford.com/thecontext daily 0.75 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603d0832dde1340721bf5950/4c41a742-a72a-4143-844d-01b0307bbd97/Rostan.jpg The context ‘I went straight from the airport to join the British Army when I first came to the UK from my home in St Vincent. I spent 12 years as a soldier, and served in Iraq. That was where I was travelling one night, in the back of an Army Land Rover, trying to get some sleep. Something told me to put my helmet on. For a split second I argued with myself, but then I put it on ­– and the vehicle overturned…’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603d0832dde1340721bf5950/dcb17aa6-7141-45d5-90fb-a8e31d7c6cf2/Appeal+copy+Michael+looking+to+side+copy.jpeg The context ‘I was in care at ten, running wild on the streets from a very early age.

Then we invite them to come for a meal and connect with ACT’s wider team and specialist partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603d0832dde1340721bf5950/795198dc-8993-4e1a-a524-92af0f293221/Raymond+%26+Charles.jpeg Outreach & Mentoring - 1:1 mentoring Mentees meet with their mentor for 90 minutes a week. Each journey is shaped around the individual’s needs and strengths. That might mean a focus on self-care, budgeting or leadership skills, for example. This is where exciting new ventures start to emerge, like Brendan’s songwriting or Eddy’s new business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603d0832dde1340721bf5950/35711445-24ef-4fad-98cc-ba74466fd4b8/faris-mohammed-FNufjdEresI-unsplash.jpg Outreach & Mentoring - Regular meals Every week on a Monday evening, and on the first Sunday of each month, we offer filling hot meals, friendship and support to people who are street homeless or vulnerably housed. Both take place at the St Aldates Parish Centre, 40 Pembroke Street, Oxford.
