Through the Gate Workers
We offer specialist support for women up to 3 months before release and when in the community. As well as general through the gate support we have support specifically for black and minority ethnic women. We offer specific support for women with a diagnosed mental health condition or history of trauma which includes counselling.

We have weekly drop-in sessions at our London and Manchester offices. We also run workshops and offer one-to-one advice and, in London only, counselling.
