Bringing Hope is a charity based in Birmingham UK that works in prisons and the community with those involved in serious violence and crime. Families are at the heart of all we do. When we are in contact with someone in need of a second chance, we work with the other significant people in that person’s life. Some of the individuals we work with have been categorised as ‘hard-to-reach’, ‘problematic’ and ‘marginalised’. We provide one-to-one pastoral care, family therapy, group work, mentoring and peer support to help develop the hearts and minds of those who need hope most. We aim to address the root issues of social exclusion and crime. We work with employers and other agencies to help improve our clients’ job opportunities.
