One of our mentors went shopping last week with a Shine mentee. Using money from Sacro’s Trust Fund to get clothing, as she’s started volunteering and looking to get into employment. Here she is posing in one of her new outfits.

'We've known for decades that short sentences don't work' vice chair of our board David Mackie spoke on BBC ALBA Eòrpa about the consequences these sentences have on people’s lives. More must be done to tackle this problem and ensure opportunities for change are available.

Delighted to officially start our work with the inimitable Shine Mentoring as Rachael Moss leads todays trauma training.
