The service focuses on providing trauma-informed support for adult men aged 18+ who are on probation. It focuses on people’s strengths and aspirations, giving men the greatest opportunity to move forward positively in their lives.

When someone accesses the service, they receive tailored support that’s designed to match with their aspirations and help them meet their goals. Tailored support helps to motivate men to make positive changes around:

• Personal wellbeing

• Family and relationships

• Building social connections

• Independent living skills

Our goal is to give people more opportunities, tools and positive relationships, meaning that the likelihood of re-engaging with probation services again the future is reduced.

How to access:

All referrals are co-ordinated centrally by The Big Life Group with Salford Probation Service. If you are on probation, please contact your Probation Officer or Key Worker if you would like to be referred to our service.
