Volunteer Led Community Supports
We offer a range of community service programs to create low-barrier access to practical and emotional supports for our community members
Court Support
Volunteers provide practical and emotional support to women, non-binary individuals and their families navigating court systems. Our volunteers assist with community service referrals, understanding information, and court accompaniment.
If you are appearing at 2201 Finch Ave W. (Toronto Regional Bail Centre) and need support, please contact the Court Support Volunteers in office 1-125, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
If you are incarcerated or looking to arrange support prior to your appearance, please let the on-duty officer at TRBC know you wish to speak with an Elizabeth Fry Volunteer or contact us at:
416-924-3708 ext. 267

Talk and Listen
Phone Line
Getting access to information and resources while in prison is challenging – our Talk & Listen volunteers are here to help. We work with callers as they navigate the criminal justice system by offering information and resources related to legal information, housing, mental health services, reintegration, release planning, and more – all with a listening and compassionate ear.
