Direction for Bedfordshire is the way forward; providing a free and confidential service to help offenders, their families and friends.

There can be so many barriers to face after leaving prison. Direction provides you with all the information and guidance to put you in touch with services that can help you to resettle in the community. It is a free service that can give you the support and help you need to plan, design and move forward with your life.

Direction can point you to the right place to find out about options for education, training and work opportunities, information around finances, housing and the advice you need if you’re homeless, or if your life has been affected by drug and alcohol use. We can help you find all the details and contacts to help improve your health, wellbeing and quality of life.

This is a free service that can advise on how to plan and design your own future and put you in contact with people who can support resettlement after leaving prison, providing you with the necessary resources to improve your self-esteem, future outlook and help you transform your life.
