The aim of this fund is to contribute to improving the system of support for families affected by convictions and imprisonment to improve rehabilitation and resettlement outcomes.

The programme aim is to contribute to improving the system of support for families affected by convictions and imprisonment to improve rehabilitation and resettlement outcomes. The grant programme has two strands: one for smaller grants to test new approaches or add value to current work (up to €7,000/£6,000) and the second for longer-term more strategic work (up to €25,000/£21,500)

SSGT’s approach, as a small grantmaker, is to work towards outcomes to which it can best contribute, given identified need and opportunities to engage. Therefore, the grant programme will seek to make a contribution to the following outcomes:

• Family-centred approaches to rehabilitation and reintegration become normalised in the prison system, at the point of imprisonment, during the sentence and on release.
• The voice of prisoners and their families adds to the evidence base and understanding of the value of family-centred approaches to reintegration and maintaining family bonds.
• Government and state bodies are held accountable for reducing the harm of imprisonment to families.
