Today we are incredibly proud to welcome our new volunteer, Tina, to the Sisco team 💛

Tina has been with Sisco for over a year, focusing on her own recovery and finding her feet in a world that once felt completely alien to her. Throughout that time, she has worked incredibly hard, staying grounded, focused, and deeply committed to her journey. Tina has been clear, determined, and driven about what she wants her future to look like, and she has shown that through her actions every step of the way.

Today marks a huge milestone as Tina moves from Community Champion to Prison Volunteer. This is a powerful reflection of her growth, resilience, and commitment to change.

We cannot wait for Tina to complete her induction and officially become part of our prison team. Her lived experience, compassion, and strength will be such an asset to the people we support.

Well done, Tina. Dreams really do come true ✨

Congratulations to our Prison Manager, Kevin, on being 8 years alcohol-free today.

Alcohol is so socially accepted that staying off it for 8 hours, never mind 8 years, can be a real challenge.

I’ve seen so many friends head out with the best intentions not to drink, only for 80 minutes into the night to turn into just one glass of wine, which becomes a bottle, then drinks afterwards, and a hangover the next day.

But not our Kevin.

Kevin has been consistent, determined, and willing to choose a life he didn’t yet know he deserved. Eight years of showing up, standing firm, and choosing himself in a world that constantly normalises excess.

Congratulations, big man. Eight years, and look at everything you’ve achieved in that time.
You are a fine example of what recovery can look like when it’s done with honesty, commitment, and heart. I’m so grateful that we have been able to be part of your journey, kiddo.

Here’s to the next year.

May it bring you joy, happiness, and everything in this world that you deserv, and more.

Join us tonight at the final Paradise Recovery Café of 2025 ✨

Come along and be warmly welcomed by the Paradise Recovery Cafe team.

This evening, we will watch a movie and share some food and laughter. It’s a chance to sit in the power of connection, to be around people who understand, and to remind ourselves that people absolutely need people, especially at this time of year.

There will be space to share contacts, telephone numbers, and any festive connections that could help someone feel less alone over the coming days. A small moment of connection can make a huge difference.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year from everyone at Paradise Recovery Café 💚🎅🎄

We’d love to see you there.

The team would like to thank everyone for their contributions towards our Christmas appeal.
A special shout out to Cheryl Mciver and the team at Abercromby & Fringe for their kind donation this Christmas 🎅

Your kindness and generosity has allowed us to spend the most special day with the troops in prison and the community 🎄

People need people ♥️

We want to say a massive thank you to Kirsten for her incredibly generous donation of £700 to the Sisco troops this Christmas.

Today, Kirsten came in to donate the money in honour of our JB, who sadly passed away earlier this year. JB was a scheme boy through and through, and he would have been so happy knowing that the money raised in his name has been donated back to the Scheme team.

The donation has been used to provide Christmas packages and gift cards, helping to bring some comfort and kindness during the festive period.

From everyone at Sisco, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2026. 🎄✨

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our funders, our donors, and everyone who made a financial contribution to Sisco this year. Without your financial and emotional support, the work our team does simply would not be possible.

At Sisco, we believe in change. Because of that belief system, our team radiates compassion, hope, and joy throughout the communities we serve. Every day, they create meaningful, often radical change, filling gaps in service provision that are frequently unfunded or unpaid, but which we know are the right thing to do.

As we begin to wind down our services and close for the Christmas period, we want to take a moment to reflect on the work we have carried out throughout the year alongside our partners. Collaboration has been at the heart of everything we do.

We would also like to highlight and give thanks for the work we have been doing with the Scottish Recovery Consortium, and to personally thank Tracy McFall for being an ambassador and a true leader, helping us shift narratives, challenge stigma, and drive meaningful change.

To the families connected to our work, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope the festive period brings warmth, peace, and connection. We also hope that 2026 brings everything you are hoping for and more 🧑‍🎄

Finally, to the staff and volunteers at Sisco, Thank you. Without your hard work, commitment, and dedication to making Scotland safer and improving our justice system, Sisco would be an empty shell. You are the vessel that drives the ship and keeps it moving forward, even when the fuel is low ❤️

So once again, on behalf of the board and the Chief Executive, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year when it comes 🎄

We’re really sad to say goodbye to our Justice Mentor, Amanda Smith, on her last working day with Sisco today. Amanda has been with us through the ups and downs, and she has truly been a quality, an asset, and someone irreplaceable within our family tree.

She has brought so much joy, compassion, and positivity, not only to our community members, but especially to the troops she has supported within the Scottish Prison Service. Her presence, her dedication, and her heart have made a lasting impact on every person she has worked with, thats the Sisco way ❤️

The whole Sisco team wishes Amanda nothing but the very best in her new role. We know this isn’t goodbye, it’s simply the start of a new chapter in her journey.

Amanda, go out and smash your new job. And always remember: your Sisco family is here, with open arms, cheering you on every step of the way.

Good luck Amanda ❤️
