Established in 2013, Yellow Ribbon is a Community Chaplaincy charity which provides support for men on release from prison, providing a vital bridge to effective life in the community. We also work with people who present with complex needs in the community, including mental health, addictions and homelessness. At the heart of our work is the provision of supported accommodation across Telford, Stafford, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Shrewsbury.
Our staff team is a balance of lived experience and professional expertise. We have worked hard to build a strong sense of community both to enable the team to work well together and to provide a stable and healthy community life for our clients. The community is built on our spiritual values of peace, accountability and honesty, and is underpinned by Yellow Ribbon’s foundation of Christian faith.
We believe that forgiveness and reconciliation are key to helping people back into society. We befriend, assist, challenge and change behaviour that may have led to offending.
We take referrals from Prison, Probation, Homelessness, some Mental Heath organisations and interview and hopefully can offer accommodation. Through the provision of secure accommodation and engagement in purposeful courses and programmes, we hope to address concerns and to help clients begin their path to recovery and progress to make a positive contribution to the communities in which they live.
Yellow Ribbon is a charity serving those who want to put their past behind them and look to a new future.
Yellow Ribbon made an approach to buy Halfway House on the Wrekin as a new project to serve prevention of crime in the community. The owner was delighted to be able to sell his property in June 24, knowing that it would be used for the good of the community. Indeed Government funding has been secured to help unlock potential and strengthen communities across Telford.
We were also able to make the necessary infrastructure improvements to Halfway House.
Yellow Ribbon’s work is currently funded through grant making bodies and through donations. We very much appreciate the support received and welcome contributions from new partnerships, faith communities and individuals.
Yellow Ribbon has shared houses in Telford and a number of semi-independent flats, we also have houses in Shrewsbury, Stafford, Wolverhampton and Walsall.
