Bringing Hope is an in-prison volunteering program. Each week, accredited Second Chances volunteers visit prisons right across South Australia – providing friendship and practical support including banking and property storage, Advocacy, Referral Pathways, Re-integrative Support, Transport on Discharge, Accommodation, and Practical Items. Our Volunteers are also on a roster to provide Church Services, and Bible Study Groups at select prisons.

Each week, 12 in-prison volunteers visit six prisons across SA.
