Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations - LIFE TRANSITION THROUGH VOLUNTEERING

Through this project we ....more Izzy's Promise would like to set up a Life Transition Project for ex offenders, people who have been released from prisons and ex addicts or people recovering from addiction. Through this project we will recruit a Sessional worker who will recruit volunteers to help in the delivery of this project. The project will target people who come to our service for support just after they have been released from prisons or those ones trying to overcome a drug and alcohol problems. The people we are targeting to support and help to turn their lives around are those ones who are most affected by the cuts. Due to the economic cuts, most ex offenders and people who have just been released from prison do not access their benefits immediately. This forces some people to sleep rough, homelessness and some are tempted to get involved in petty crimes and street prostitution to make ends. The sessional worker will recruit and train 5 volunteers to help with the project. We plan to reach out and work with 10 vulnerable people who have been adversely affected by the welfare reforms. We will offer them practical support, and also help them to train as volunteers. By supporting such vulnerable people and offering them training on different volunteering roles we will help them to learn new skills that will help them access work. This project is innovative, creative and different as it focused on the most neglected groups in our society. People who have been released from prison, people with addiction problems and people engaged in prostitution are very much stigmatised and lack opportunities that can help them to turn their lives around. Through our project we will be able to support such people, help them overcome their social stigma and hence support them through volunteering.
