Fresh Start supports individuals leaving prison with employment, training, education and housing, helping transform lives with dignity, stability and purpose.
Fresh Start is an independent charity supporting individuals upon release from prison with employment, training, education and housing. We work with ex-offenders to provide continued support, helping them lead the life they really want to lead — one free from re-offending.
Our support focuses on the foundations that create lasting change: safe housing, meaningful skills, training pathways and employment opportunities.
Helping people find stability, safety and the foundations needed to rebuild their lives.
Building confidence, skills and qualifications that open doors to better futures.
Supporting pathways into meaningful work, independence and positive contribution.
We use the strengths, attributes and lived experience of ex-offenders to support others as they reconnect with community life.
Initial contact, trust and practical next steps.
Understanding goals, needs and barriers.
Housing support and everyday foundations.
Training, education and confidence building.
Employment, independence and contribution.
For all ex-offenders to provide a positive contribution upon release and reintegrate into their everyday lives and communities.
Fresh Start exists to create hope, stability and real opportunity for people ready to transform their lives.
