Volunteering as a befriender for New Bridge carries with it both serious challenges and genuine rewards. My own experience as a befriender has challenged me in ways that I could not have anticipated, and has shaped my own attitudes and outlook not just regarding those in custody but towards live in general.

Do you have time to exchange a couple of letters every fortnight with people in prison?

Can you commit to visiting them periodically?

Will you come to group meetings once a month?

Could you share our commitment to supporting people in some of the darkest places during some of the darkest times of their lives?

If so, we would love to hear from you.
