At New Connections CIC, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to rebuild their life with dignity, purpose, and hope. We work with people preparing for release from prison — many of whom face complex challenges such as addiction, poor mental health, and social isolation — to help them recover, reconnect, and reintegrate into their communities.

Our care plans support individuals reintegrating into the community, setting out goals across ten focus areas to guide where extra support is needed and celebrate achievements, helping participants build the skills, confidence, and stability for positive, independent lives after release.

By partnering with New Connections CIC, your trust or foundation can help:

Reduce reoffending through early intervention and sustained post-release support.

Improve mental health and wellbeing for those leaving long-term imprisonment.

Support recovery from addiction through structured, person-centred guidance.

Strengthen communities by helping people rebuild relationships, work, and purpose.

We measure and report on outcomes, ensuring transparency and demonstrating the tangible social impact of every grant or donation.

Your support enables New Connections CIC to deliver vital post-release services, including:

Expanding our peer mentor programme to support more individuals immediately after release.

Providing tailored guidance for ex-offenders to navigate housing, employment, and recovery.

Using research-driven insights to identify which interventions have the greatest impact.

In 2024, we supported 11% of indeterminate-sentenced prisoners released, demonstrating the reach and effectiveness of our approach. Every contribution helps us give people the guidance, skills, and support they need to rebuild their lives.

If you are a trust, foundation, or philanthropic funder interested in supporting our work, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact us via our website to discuss partnership opportunities, funding priorities, or how your grant could make a lasting difference.

Together, we can give people a real chance to change — and build safer, stronger communities for everyone.
