We also discussed how our members were finding our virtual forums 🗣️"It really uplifted me. Reinforced what we’re doing with Revolving Doors"🗣️
Another member told us that our online zoom support was really helpful & meant they could now use it to connect with friends & family.

What a brilliant start to our @RDInvolvement forums! Two key themes emerged around positivity & connectivity👉Members discussed how this could be an opportunity to grow & connect with people, especially those we enjoy speaking with but don't always have the time to connect with.

Last week we held our first @RDInvolvement virtual forum. Members discussed the impact that Covid-19 was having on their lives and put together a list of 5 things that were helping them manage the current situation. First and foremost, we must be kind to ourselves 👇
Great article by @SueSuevic2109 Food for thought about our experience of isolation...
Read a new blog post on WEPHREN from an expert with lived experience of prisons as to how isolation in prison is different to that in the community. #COVID19 #prisonhealth wephren.tghn.org/articles/ex…
Quote from the first online Revolving Doors forum using Zoom : "I am really glad I did it to be fair. Made me feel miles better."

Being released from prison on a Friday is difficult enough, but being released in the current #COVID19 crisis is overwhelming. Right now more than ever, we need to be providing all with a safe place to sleep, financial support & mental health help, so all feel hope for the future
Another #Friday, another group of people released from prison without a place to stay or vital essentials & without enough time to sort these things out before weekend closures. Find out more about our ongoing #endFridayreleases campaign at nacro.org.uk/best-chance #FridayFeeling

Our coalition urges @MoJGovUK to prioritise community & suspended sentences ahead of #shortsighted custodial sentences of 6 months or less for all non-violent offences. #SaveLives by preventing the spread of Covid-19 in our prisons. Join our coalition here bit.ly/3dHBdMl
People with complex needs go through the criminal justice system at breakneck speed. Services are stretched. People in the revolving door are at great risk of infection and death. That’s why we are calling for government action to #savelives. Join us: bit.ly/3dHBdMl
Quick update: Revolving Doors #livedexperience forums will take place online during the lock-down and we will be supporting our members to use the technology required. Details of Manchester forum coming soon!
