The Feltham Community Chaplaincy Trust, or FCCT, (Y.J.B. Award Winners ) is a registered Charity, working in partnership with and based out of Her Majesty’s Prison Feltham and Young Offenders Institution.
We are the first Community Chaplaincy Project in the UK to work with Young People leaving prison
Launched on the 1st December at City Hall we work in partnership with faith communities across London to support the young men who return from Feltham.
That the young men leaving Feltham have the opportunity to access a faith support network in the communities they are returning to and a real choice not to re-offend.

Our Values
We believe that:
Young people in prison can find or re-find faith
Young people leaving custody are capable of change
Young people can avoid resorting to crime if the support of a community they value is behind them
We recognise the work of other Criminal Justice and voluntary agencies in this area, and we will seek to work in collaboration with them

Our Commitment
The Trust is passionately committed to supporting young people being released from Feltham to enable them to re-settle back into their own communities. Only by building a bridge between prison and the community can offenders really have any hope of leading a crime-free life. Many of the young offenders returning to London come from diverse faith communities and the Feltham Community Chaplaincy Trust aims to provide a vital link between prison and their return back into society.
Through working in partnership with the complex range of faith communities in London and training and supporting a wide range of volunteer be-frienders from these communities, the Trust aims to empower them in their struggle to re-integrate these young men who are living on the margins of society.
