Changed
Release Mates is a growing team of rehabilitated prison leavers who support other people leaving prison in the immediate 3 - 5 hours after release. Whilst offering support with practical issues such as benefits, food, clothing, attending appointments, the team use their lived experience of recovery from addiction and navigating away from the revolving door, to trigger a motivation for positive change.
