Directory of support services
The Hardman Directory is the ‘Yellow Pages’ of the prison world. It brings together the support services that can help people plan their life after prison.
It includes funding opportunities, training courses, mentoring programmes and practical information to consider when being released.
In prison
The Hardman Trust provides physical copies of the directory to every prison wing and prison library in England, Wales and Scotland.
The directory can be used as a guide for anyone preparing for their release. It is also used by partner agencies and prison staff to support their clients to access the right support services.
Directories are provided free of charge to people leaving prison and their family / friends.

“The Directory has been a very useful resource for our workers so they can let the women they are working with know what support they can access in prison and the community. It has helped them progress various things: opening a bank account, useful info about housing, referral to drug services, information about various employment providers, training, debt support services – the list is endless. It is very clearly set out and very easy to use.”
