Laura Grant, who works for the Christian organisation Junction 42, and her colleague Darren, an ex-offender, paint a powerful picture for Mal Pope of how difficult life can be when former prisoners aren’t given the opportunities they deserve after serving their time, and the work they're doing to support them.

This week is National Adoption Week, a time to celebrate stories of radical hospitality and highlight the importance of adoption.
