RECOOP is opening a Community Support Café service this month, at The Mustard Tree in Ancoats, Manchester.
The Café, offering a rolling six week programme, will be open to male and female offenders over the age of 50 years, and who have been convicted of a criminal offence in the last six months; released from prison in the last six months; or are currently being managed at Tier 1 or 2.
The Support Café will combine elements of the health and wellbeing clinic service currently being delivered in prisons, with additional group and 1-2-1 work offering information and signposting support. Its aim is to offer regular, dedicated and focussed support to older offenders that will complement health, care, community interactions and resettlement initiatives.
