Basic Caring Communities
The Basic Caring Communities scheme is a resettlement programme for ex-offenders. It involves a group of volunteers (often motivated by their faith) who meet regularly with the ex-offender and help him or her making a fresh start in their life. One volunteer calls the ex-offender every day on the phone to discuss how things are going.
