Next Chapter Scotland

Next Chapter Scotland Logo

Next Chapter Scotland is here for anyone in Scotland who’s affected by the criminal justice system — whether that’s through a conviction, an ongoing investigation, or the impact on a loved one.‍

We offer non-judgemental, rights-based support to help people navigate the stigma, isolation and barriers that too often come with justice involvement.‍

We believe everyone has the right to turn the page and begin their next chapter — and we’re here to support them.

Our vision is of a future society in which everyone is treated equally for who they are in the present and no one’s future is defined by their past.‍

Our mission is to help people in Scotland who have been involved with the criminal justice system to navigate the stigma and discrimination they can face.
