Douglas Creighton

Douglas is a Prison Chaplain with the Scottish Prison Service supporting those in custody, their families and the staff who work in the establishment.  Before joining the SPS in 2023 Douglas was a parish minister with the Church of Scotland, a vocation he came to after 10 years working in primary education.

Through his day-job with SPS he came into contact with Cruse Scotland whilst attended training for the chaplaincy team to enhance bereavement support in prisons.  Helping get the best support for those who are bereaved has been a passion of Douglas’ throughout his professional life, and was therefore delighted to join Cruse Scotland as a Trustee in September 2025.

To relax, Douglas enjoys films and spending time with his family, and being outdoors gardening, walking or cycling to try and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
