our values | sixty one

Relationships are at the heart of what we do. We promise to always treat people in and who have left prison as people, rather than problems to be fixed.

 

We grew out of the churches with the objective of giving unconditional support to any prisoner who wanted to change, no matter their faith or lack thereof. We do not try to convert the people we work with, but would share what we believe if the person we were helping wanted to know more. 

 

Sixty-One’s name is taken from Isaiah 61, which Jesus quoted at the start of his ministry.

​

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoner.

​

Jesus stood up for those who were despised by the ‘respectable’, bringing light into the darkest of places – this is what Sixty-One wants to do, and enable today.
