Families Stories

Families Outside have been excellent with me and helped me a lot when I was visiting my son in prison. I would have been lost without their support.

Your service is a lifeline to people like myself. Right from the start you’ve been a brilliant help. Your service makes the world of difference.

The help I got from Families Outside was over and above what you could expect of anyone, I don’t know how I would have coped if it wasn’t for your help.

The support I received from Families Outside was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Especially since this was the first time I had to deal with having my partner in prison. I would have been lost without the support I received.

Having the option to speak through my fears and worries with Families Outside was very helpful, and knowing that this support is there if and when you need it is very reassuring. Someone I can openly discuss things with who won’t judge me or my partner is great.

The support from Families Outside has been excellent. There was no other support available for me, I felt isolated and I didn’t know where to turn. Thank you for helping me to move on and manage things going forward.

The help I received from the Families Outside Support Coordinator was outstanding. I cannot stress how important her input was during a period when I felt totally lost. I don’t know how I would have coped without her.

Having a Families Outside Support Coordinator you could speak to at 1:1 appointments and on the phone when you needed it was fantastic. Excellent Support throughout.
