“Thank you for all your correspondence – I want you to know that I’m very grateful and even that is an understatement.  I have a wonderful volunteer – mad as a box of frogs, very honest, forthcoming and blunt which keeps me in good stead.”

New Bridge supported Jamie - Ben befriended him for years.

This year he asked us if he could help us raise much needed funds.

This year we've started to befriend people in prison by phone because our volunteers haven't been able to visit them as they usually would.

This year we've had to cancel our Christmas concert - an event which helps to fund all our befriending work.

This year please will you make a donation by buying virtual tickets and listening to Jamie tell us about his life. 

“Wanted to thank you for all the kindness and support you’ve offered to many of us throughout.  It’s never easy in prison and especially this year but we’ve remained calm and are persevering as best we can.  We’ve been supportive of each other which has helped us through this difficult time.”

“My volunteer, Ann, has been an inspiration and very kind.  She has kept much contact through letters and this brings me great joy.  It makes my life easier knowing people care.”
