Yellow Ribbon

Set up in 2013 Yellow Ribbon is a community chaplaincy providing support for prisoners on release from prison, working across Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands and Worcester. Forgiveness are reconciliation are foundational to the great work Yellow Ribbon does in helping prisoners break a life cycle of reoffending and the revolving door of prison. Pauline Mack and Rita Wilkinson are Yellow Ribbon stalwarts and from a partnership perspective are a delight to do business with. They recognise the importance of providing a prisoner with a good home on release, and one to one mentoring and guidance to help them gain access to employment. As the Partnership Manager for Yellow Ribbon, I was both humbled and inspired in talking with someone who had previously been helped by Yellow Ribbon, but who now had his life fully together, was in employment and very much looking forward to a bright and positive future – a great testament to Yellow Ribbon. The future looks good for Yellow Ribbon and the people they help to move toward a positive future. Green Pastures is privileged to work in partnership with such a tremendous organisation.
