We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Celtic FC and, in particular, the Celtic FC Foundation for hosting such a wonderful Celebration Dinner Dance.

The evening was an opportunity to celebrate not only the partnership between the Celtic Foundation and Sisco, but also the incredible journeys of every participant who has been involved over the years. It was a chance to reflect on growth, resilience, recovery, and the power of community.

This is a partnership we hope will continue long into the future because we know, without doubt, that football has an important role to play in challenging stigma. The labels often attached to people experiencing addiction and recovery. Words like "ju**ie" and "alkie"have no place in today's society. Everyone deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to be seen for who they are, not for the challenges they have faced.

Thank you, Tony, Donna-Maire and everyone on the front line and behind the scenes for helping to create a safe and welcoming space where people can simply be themselves, discover their strengths, and build a new future. Providing opportunities for people to rewrite their story and become the version of themselves they aspire to be is something truly special.

Together, we are proving that recovery, inclusion, and hope can thrive when communities come together 💚

What makes our work at Sisco easier is the incredible relationships we’ve built over the last 10 years of working within criminal justice. The trust and respect we share with prison officers, police officers, frontline managers, Heads of Offender Outcomes, governors, and deputy governors has been fundamental to the growth of Sisco and the impact we’re able to make within residential environments.

Today was a heartwarming day as we welcomed two of our favourite officers from HMP Low Moss, Kevin and Ryan. Two of the good guys. Two men who truly see recovery for what it is, who understand the importance of therapeutic interventions, and who allow us to hold safe spaces where men can be accountable, reflect, and begin to look at the best versions of themselves.

We just want to say a massive thank you to Kevin and Ryan for continuing to give us your time, your support, and for aligning so naturally with the values of recovery.

This is what makes it work ⚖️✨️

I know the opinions of many may be swayed by this post, but I want us to really think about something.

Sisco has been embedded in criminal justice for the past 10 years, trying to help create better systems of care.

Our prisons were designed to accommodate 7,805 people. Yet today, we are warehousing 8,587 residents.

At what point do we step back and say: this is no longer acceptable?

I understand that when people commit offences, there must be consequences. In some cases, prison is necessary. But at what point does punishment become the removal of basic human rights?

With prison populations at record highs, there is very little space for meaningful therapeutic work. That means one of two things often happens:

People leave prison without the intervention, support or rehabilitation needed to help them unlearn harmful behaviours.

Or people are delayed from progressing through parole or national top end because the system does not have the resources to support their rehabilitation.

That is not the fault of prison staff. It is the result of a system that is under-resourced, overcrowded and stretched beyond what is safe or humane.

Too many people enter prison unable to cope, are exposed to illegal substances, and leave with a drug habit they did not have before. Then the community is left to carry the cost, with resources it also does not have.

At what point do we admit that our current justice system is not working, not for those who cause harm, not for victims, and not for the people working within it?

We’re delighted that Neil Gray has been appointed as Scotland’s Justice Minister, and we truly hope he's willing to do something radical to change this ⚖️
Sisco is more than willing to be at the forefront of that change.

Another fantastic night at Paradise Recovery Cafe.

We don’t post often about the Recovery Cafe at Celtic Park, because it quietly does exactly what it’s meant to do. It gives people certainty. A safe place. Warm food. Real connection. And the power of lived example.

The beautiful thing is, you don’t have to be a Celtic supporter to attend. We welcome people from clubs all across Scotland, and even some from England. Because recovery, compassion, and human connection are bigger than football colours.

None of this would be possible without the incredible team at the Celtic FC Foundation and the team at Sisco, who work tirelessly every Monday night to make it happen.

Well done to everyone involved for continuing to truly see people.

Let’s keep seeing the pain behind the addiction, not just the addiction itself 💚⚖️✨️

A massive shout out and thank you to our friend James Toner and all the guys at Calderglen Rehab. What a fantastic support today in helping us move out of our old building and into our new home.

Thanks to all the guys, and all our guys presently in rehab, who came out today. This is what real change and pro-social behaviour looks like. Men stepping up, taking accountability for the mistakes they’ve made, and being willing to do whatever it takes to rectify the past and build a better future.

Thank you for always being there for Sisco.
Thank you for always supporting Sisco, and for always supporting the men within the Scottish Prison Service who are desperate for an opportunity, an opportunity for recovery, healing, and a chance at a different life through residential rehab.

James Joseph Toner and everyone at Calderglen, your work never goes unnoticed and its deeply appreciated. The impact you have on people’s lives is incredible.

And finally, a massive shout out to our boy Kieran, who we got to celebrate his birthday with today, even if he didn’t want the surprise and attention! Happy birthday, kid. It’s brilliant to see you on the outside and doing well.

To all of our clients, volunteers, students, and partners, we would like to sincerely apologise for the disruption to the services provided by Sisco this week.
We are grateful to share that we have secured a new home, a safe, welcoming, and inviting space with a fantastic new landlord who fully supports therapeutic and recovery-focused work. While this is a very positive step forward for us, it does mean that Sisco’s services will be disrupted for one week only as we transition into the new premises.
If you are struggling and need support during this time, please reach out using the contact information available on Google or through any of our social media pages. You can also contact your mentor at Sisco directly for support and guidance.
Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

Its not what we say, it’s what we do!
