Company
The groups are staffed by teams of volunteers who seek to provide company and support to parents, and a safe play environment for children. Activities include story-time, singing and crafts for children. For parents, there is the opportunity to relax, enjoy some adult conversation and share experiences and ideas. In addition to the weekly groups, special events are held, offering further care and support, particularly to those parenting alone. Company also runs a Mentoring and Befriending service that aims to get along side and support parents in need of some advice, help and encouragment. Jericho Road
58i works in partnership with the Jericho Road Project, an initiative working with women involved in prostitution in Nottingham and assisting them as they exit prostitution. There are estimated to be around 100 women involved in street prostitution in Nottingham, more than 90% of them addicted to class A drugs. The service engages with the women through evening street outreach, day time drop-in sessions and prison visits where the team, largely made up of volunteers, helps them make positive lifestyle choices.
