​

Welcome to the Cork Alliance Centre, a place committed to assisting individuals who have recently been released from prison and are residing in the Cork area. We understand that the journey of rebuilding your life can be filled with challenges and obstacles, but rest assured, we are here to provide the support you need. Our goal is to help you regain your confidence and self-esteem, empower you to take control of your future, and facilitate your reconnection with family and community.

​

 We support people to make a fresh start after prison, both in terms of reducing offending and increasing positive participation in family and community life, with the ultimate goal of living a crime-free life.

 

Desistance is the process by which people move away from crime and its associated behaviours. We want to support you in your desistance journey, and help you to grow your awareness, understand consequences and explore alternatives so that you become better equipped to manage your life positively, and make changes that will last.

 

At the Cork Alliance Centre, you will be paired with a dedicated personal Support Worker who will meet with you on a one-to-one basis. Together, you will identify your personal goals and create a clear, actionable plan that is tailored specifically to your needs. We are committed to walking alongside you throughout this process, offering guidance and support every step of the way as you work towards a brighter future.
