24/11/2022 - Through the Gate Prison to Community Mentoring Pilot ref: 1545 Recommendations Approved
NHS England has approached Bristol City
Council to pilot a program which will support people leaving HMP
Bristol, and returning to live in Bristol. All of the men who will
be engaged in this service, will have some kind of drug or alcohol
dependency, and the support is to ensure that people are offered
meaningful drug or alcohol treatment in the community. It will also
ensure that these people are able to access a range of other
healthcare and treatment services in the community.
We know from local evidence gathering that there is a high number
of people who leave prison with very low levels of social support,
and with a range of healthcare and social care needs. Many of these
people are released without adequate onward support, which
increases the risk of reoffending and for those who use drugs or
alcohol there are additional risks, including the risk of overdose
or other serious harm. This cohort are a priority focus both for
the city and nationally. As such accepting the funding will allow
us to better support this vulnerable group of people and reduce
health and social harms in Bristol.
NHS England will provide £150,000 per year, over two years
£300,000 in total to deliver the pilot.

interventions to prevent children on the cusp of the youth justice
system from going on to (re)offend. The programme has been designed
using an Early Help approach to support a clearly defined cohort of
children who do not meet the threshold for statutory support.
The value of the grant is £68,435 in 22/23; £183,198 in
23/24, £183,098 in 24/25.
The programme provides an opportunity to strengthen our model of
