Our Values

Passionate

We care about what we do, and we are determined to make positive and permanent changes.

Practical

We understand that environments shape people. Prisons can further damage the health and life chances of those within their walls. We provide practical solutions, and evidence the impact of our work.

Authentic

We tell it like it is. We are real. We also make real changes, including changing the narrative around people in prison.

Empathetic

We do not reduce people in prison to their crimes, we see them as human beings. Human beings who, with the right support, have the capability to positively transform their lives.

Courageous

We have the strength to stand alongside, and stand up for, those who are often feared and shamed, and compel society to rethink its preconceptions and prejudices.

Leadership Team

Our leadership team drives the foundation's day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives, bringing diverse expertise and a shared commitment to our mission.
