About Us
Families Outside is the only national charity in Scotland that works solely to support families affected by
imprisonment. Imprisonment can often have a huge impact on the things that matter most to families: money and
secure housing, safe and connected relationships at home and in the community, and the emotional health and
wellbeing of families. Families Outside is dedicated to providing a range of practical, social, and emotional
support to people with someone in prison that are relationship-based, prison-aware, and family-focused.
