WYCCP Resettlement Service
The West Yorkshire Community Chaplaincy Project - aims to create a better society for us all by working alongside people who have been in prison to help them achieve settled and productive lives back in our community.
We begin working with people inside prison and this help can continue for many months post-release with them and their families. Our team of dedicated staff are assisted by a committed team of volunteers who are vital in providing both practical and emotional assistance to ex-prisoners as they settle back into the community.
“This is the only place I’ve been that’s made a real difference to my life.”
WYCCP works
The people we work with are doing well and we have excellent success rates. Based on over 9 years of monitoring figures we expect that 70% of the men who receive our support in the community will not have returned to prison one year from release.
“These are genuine people, the advice they give us is honest and from the heart and its free. I honestly do not know where I would be if I had not met them in Armley. Nowadays I feel alive and well, that’s not bad for an ex heroin addict aged 57. I do get aches and pain in places I didn’t know I had. I am proud of myself, my family is also proud of me, even a lot of my old pals are proud of me which is all good, and mostly down to these people at WYCCP. I could actually write a book on the good things these people do.”
