Support for Ex-Offenders and Community Wellbeing — Positive Inside CIC
Providing practical help and mentoring for those in need — grounded in lived experience, built on trust.
About Us
Positive Inside CIC is a lived experience-led organisation supporting people in custody, prison leavers, and ex-offenders in the community. We understand that moving forward after involvement with the criminal justice system can be challenging.
Many people face barriers around employment, housing, education, confidence, mental wellbeing, and feeling accepted back into the community. At Positive Inside CIC, we believe that real change is possible when people feel understood, supported, and not judged.
Our work is built on lived experience, trust, and practical guidance. We support people to recognise their strengths, make positive choices, and take steps towards a better future. Our aim is to create a safe and supportive space where people can speak openly, receive guidance, and feel encouraged to rebuild their lives.
What We Do
Positive Inside CIC provides mentoring and practical support for people who are in custody, preparing for release, or living in the community after prison. We offer lived experience mentoring — giving people the opportunity to speak with someone who understands the journey first-hand.
