Edinburgh,
Families Outside is the only national charity in Scotland working exclusively on
behalf of families affected by imprisonment. We speak to thousands of families
each year, providing information and support on issues such as housing, finance,
and emotional support. Our Helpline, 0800 254 0088, provides impartial
information and support and is often the first port of call for families looking
for help. If family members require more in-depth support, our Regional Family
Support team is on hand throughout Scotland and can offer direct, 1:1 support
until a positive outcome is reached.Families Outside Who we Are What we do Front
