The Croft (Visitors' Support and Advice Centre, HMP Barlinnie)
This organisation is a No Wrong Door partner
The Croft has been supporting people visiting HMP Barlinnie since 2012. Staff and volunteers are based in the office opposite the booking desk and in the waiting area of the prison, before and after most visits.
Croft staff welcome visitors and support them to have a better visit, using an assertive outreach approach. This includes giving people information about visit procedures, how to claim travel expenses and additional support that is available. Croft staff speak with a range of people at HMP Barlinnie, partners and parents of prisoners and also friends, siblings and other relatives.
