Family Help Hub at HMP and YOI Cornton Vale

Stirling Interfaith Community Justice Group is a charity established by representatives of the churches and other faith communities in the Stirling area.

The Family Help Hub HMP/YOI Cornton Vale is built on a strategic community partnership between the charity, The Scottish Prison Service and the Fife and Forth Valley Community Justice Authority and was developed in response to the needs of female offenders and the families of offenders across Scotland. The Family Help Hub aims to provide a supportive, friendly and welcoming environment for prisoners' families visiting the establishment. Staff and trained volunteers provide support to ensure experiences of prison visiting are less stressful and more positive. Both the staff and volunteers encourage more frequent visits and maintaining family ties in order to reduce re-offending, increasing the stability of children's lives and achieving positive long-term outcomes for all of the family.
