What is the Bridge Programme?
We aim to be a bridge, connecting prison leavers with church communities.
In 2021 we ran a pilot year of the Bridge Programme at Holy Trinity Brompton, London. The aims of the Bridge Programme remain the same but based on the pilot year and feedback we received, we are making some small changes for those starting the Bridge Programme in 2022:
6-month rolling programme of teaching, community, and coaching, enabling prison leavers to join at any point in the year
Focus on 3 tracks: Life, Character, Community; engaging with lifestyle, relationships, thinking and attitudes
Weekly Bridge Group sessions (a mixture of online and in person) and 1-2-1 coaching (in person where possible) based on biblical values
Testimony nights and community events
Character and Development certificate at 3 months
Graduation certificate at 6 months
Training will be offered in due course with Bridge Programme resource packs made available from 2023. Email us if you would like to find out more: hello@caringforprisonleavers.org
