StandOut Programmes
Courage and resilience for life after prison

Film & Campaign Description

Rebuilding a life after prison isn’t easy. The steps someone takes to create stability are often hard-won and fragile.

To leave the criminal justice system behind and truly begin to thrive requires a huge amount of courage and resilience. This is why supporting people to recognise and build on these strengths is fundamental to StandOut’s programme.

This film centres the voices that matter most: those of StandOut participants. In prison and in the community, they’ve written powerful letters to each other – reminders of the courage and resilience they share.

Their words are raw, real, and full of hope. This film is for anyone who needs to hear them.

StandOut Programmes

StandOut is an award-winning charity that empowers people to make positive change, realise their potential, and rebuild their lives after prison. Our unique programme begins in prison with coaching and practical support and continues after release, for as long as someone needs us.

On our intensive course in prison, people can discover who they are and what they want to achieve. It’s here that they develop a relationship with StandOut that forms the foundations of our work with them after prison.

Each journey is individual, and leaving prison isn’t easy. It’s why StandOut provides one-to-one coaching and support that bridges the transition between prison and the community.

We are determined that more people leaving prison are empowered to make positive change that has an impact on them, their families, and society.
