Additional Information

Since 1956, New Bridge has been helping prisoners and ex-offenders live positive lives in the community. New Bridge's vision is of a society in which there are fewer victims, because all offenders who can benefit from our support are given the help they need to stop offending. Through our national network of volunteers, we befriend and mentor some of the most vulnerable, regardless of their location or crime. Our work helps people change their lives, build trust in others and think positively about their futures. "I know what I need to do in order to lead a life free from reoffending and your volunteer has been the cement I needed to help me lay my foundation blocks. The support and advice that I have been given have been great and a big help." Marcus, a prisoner befriended by New Bridge.
