'Out There' Supporting Families of Prisoners, was founded in September 2006 as an initiative of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. It is a well documented fact that families with a member in prison are often isolated, rejected and have difficulty in finding sources of information and support at a very stressful time. The organization therefore will try to alleviate, in some measure, this situation for families in the Greater Manchester Area.

Respecting the dignity of the individual, we offer a supportive, compassionate and caring service, for prisoners’ families. We will collaborate with similar organisations which work for justice for the families of prisoners.
