Sixty-One is a Bristol-based charity that aims to support offenders and ex-offenders to lead meaningful crime-free lives. We do this by providing the relational and practical support offenders need. We also seek to inspire, engage and equip the church and individual Christians to join our work as a practical expression of Jesus’s love for people on the margins.

To do this we run our own projects such as the MentorMe mentoring project and the Christmas Gift Project. In addition, we work closely with partner churches, charities and organisations who can partner with us in supporting prisoners and ex-prisoners, the largest partnership being with four churches which run Hubs that provide midweek support for ex-prisoners.

Last year we provided 1,032 mentoring sessions (delivered by our volunteers) to 71 ex-prisoners of whom only three (4.2%) went back to prison, twelve times lower that the national average. The Hubs we support provided over 100 support sessions to 24 ex-prisoners.

Our office is in central Bristol and we work in a number of local prisons.
