Many of those we support leave prison with nothing other than the daunting prospect of starting again.

"WHEN I WENT TO PRISON, I WAS EXCOMMUNICATED FROM MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, HAD NO HOUSING OR FUTURE PROSPECTS. WHAT I GAINED FROM NEXT CHAPTER WAS MORE THAN JUST PRACTICAL SUPPORT, IT WAS FAMILY."

The Walk Beyond Bars was conceptualised in our Next Chapter support group, made up of members who have all experienced what is is like to leave prison and transition to a life in the community. Members, volunteers and friends of CfG will take part in a sponsored relay walk of 21 miles, past London prisons to highlight the stories of prison leavers and raise funds for the vital work of the charity.
