Imago Dei Prison Ministry

Imago Dei Prison Ministry wants to see women live out their true identity and purpose. We believe that no one should be defined by their past or even their current circumstances.

There are many reasons and contributing factors as to why women find themselves in prison. By helping to address these issues during the time spent in custody we believe we are offering real practical solutions and helping prisoners to become healed and whole ready for release. We want to equip and empower women to live with purpose, enabling them to make better life choices and to live as valuable members of the community. This in turn has a knock-on effect on family-life and society, increases employability upon release, as well as helps to reduce re-offending.

We currently work in 4 women's prisons alongside chaplaincy departments facilitating various different courses, such as loss, victim awareness, self-development, forgiveness, etc and providing pastoral support and care for individuals.
