Rosie and Lucy both finished yesterday's Brighton 10k, which took in the sights along the seafront, and were very pleased to be running in the sunshine.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored them or wished them luck for the run ☺️

'New Bridge to me is brilliant it's a link to the outside world out of the walls and bars, it's visits and a form of normality whilst in prison'

A really lovely opening to a letter we received today from one of the people in #prison that our #volunteers befriend

[New Bridge @new_bridge]

To mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week, #volunteer Zoe has written a blog post about neurodiversity in prisons, and how the consistency of befrienders can be a helpful support. Check it out here: https://t.co/u8mUChYFHw

We received lots of engaging entries for our 70th anniversary logo design competition, submitted by the people we support across #prisons in England and Wales. We particularly like all of the details and use of colour that went into this entry!

[New Bridge @new_bridge]

We received a lovely letter from a service user telling us how they'd responded to a member of #prison staff asking for their feedback about our befriending service 😊

Faye recommends #volunteering with us because she recognises the power of a letter to help people in #prison to feel seen, valued, and less lonely.
Could you follow her lead and befriend someone in need of connection?

Esme finds her befriending to be the perfect amount of commitment to fit alongside her studies in criminology, and has gained confidence and developed her communication skills through her #Volunteering

Frederique values the connection with fellow #volunteers that she enjoys as part of her befriending, and the skills it helps her to utilise in her personal life as well as her studies.
