Our mission is to create a just, humane, and effective prison system by influencing decision-makers, opinion-formers, and the public to reduce the use of prison, improve conditions for prisoners and promote equality and human rights within the criminal justice system.

Alcohol Change UK
Every hour three people in the UK die due to alcohol, and the figure is sadly rising. 10 million people in the UK are drinking at dangerous levels and alcohol costs our NHS around £8.3 billion annually, while straining other vital services. Alcohol can cause mental health problems, liver disease, seven forms of cancer, financial difficulties, and much more – it can affect any one of us, from any walk of life.

Emmaus
Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, work experience in a social enterprise and an opportunity to get themselves back on their feet again. For many people who experience homelessness, one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem. Emmaus provides an opportunity to regain this, with a chance to make a real contribution to their community.
FareShare
At FareShare we save good to eat food which would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it to 8,500 local charities and community groups across the UK. In turn, they use this food to prepare meals, and to support the individuals and communities they work with. Whilst 11 million people struggle to get enough to eat (that’s nearly 1 in 6 of the UK’s population), 4 million tonnes of food is wasted in this country every year - enough for 10 billion meals.
