Recovery From Within

We supported the existing recovery cafes operating within the Scottish prison estate. SRC supported with advice, capacity building through training and coordinating other support to these established and emerging recovery initiatives.

We also continued to co-facilitate the SPS National Recovery Network which has a membership of SPS staff from every prison in Scotland who are committed to recovery and the idea of building their recovery community within their establishment.

We collaborated and gave consultation on resource and project development e.g. Inspirado, Scottish Recovery Workbook, criteria for membership challenges for long term sentences, Café Activity Learning Menu.

We operated in the following prisons over the year:

Polmont

Addiewell

Glenochil

Perth

Barlinnie

Castle Huntly

Shotts

Grampian

Corntonvale
