The Rebuild with Hope Foundation is the latest development in the story of the highly successful Remade with Hope social enterprise company, which operates in male and female prisons in England. Our aim is to train and confidence build prisoners so that they are "match fit" for the job market on release. We are strongly values driven using commercial success to reinvest in those who are furthest from job entry. By equipping men and women with greater self-esteem, more skills and a better understanding of what employers want we improve their chances of rehabilitation thereby preventing the next victim.

Rebuilding Futures Alliance is a not-for-profit organisation established to create national opportunities for employers, helping place people with low-level past convictions into full-time, meaningful careers at scale. The initiative brings together a powerful alliance of credible charities, each with a strong track record and a national network of experienced providers.

Launched in January 2025, our mission is to reduce reoffending by building inclusive and sustainable employment pathways for people with previous convictions who have spent time in prison. As a business-led organisation, we partner with expert charities and social enterprises to create smart pathways that both mitigate risk for employers and support individuals in rebuilding their futures.

In today’s fast-paced society, we believe lasting change comes when businesses work directly with grassroots organisations, combining resources, expertise, and purpose to unlock second chances and strengthen communities.

RECOOP promotes the care, resettlement and rehabilitation of older offenders and ex-offenders, in particular but not exclusively through the provision of support, advocacy, mentoring and advice on finance, housing and health that will enable them to take control of their lives and remain free from offending and prevent them from becoming socially excluded. We offer consultancy, training and direct services aimed at supporting prisons, probation staff and other organisations, including third-sector organisations, to build the range, capacity and skills necessary to meet the needs of older offenders in custody and through the resettlement transition. A number of our services are available through the Prison Education Framework Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). These include our day centre and buddy support management and training services, in-cell distraction packs and our older ‘Transition’ resettlement course.

Reflections Yorkshire CIC is grassroots, community-driven organisation that supports some of the most vulnerable and marginalised individuals in our society, men who have experienced homelessness, addiction, trauma, and social exclusion. These are individuals often overlooked and caught in cycles of poverty, crime, and relapse, with limited access to ongoing support once initial treatment ends.

We work closely with Reflections Housing Association, which accommodates 56 men at a time, through a structured 12-step recovery programme. Reflections Yorkshire CIC was established to offer a vital continuation of support. Helping residents rebuild their lives after formal treatment, when the risk of relapse is highest. Without ongoing, education and training our residents will continue the cycle of using drugs and brining more chaos to the community.

Our approach is trauma-informed, and peer led. We offer peer mentoring, health and wellbeing programmes, and personalised pathways into life skills, volunteering, and education. This support is not just practical, it restores dignity, purpose, and a sense of belonging.

We work in partnership with local charities, housing providers, and recovery services to provide wraparound care. At the heart of our work is a belief in second chances. We believe that no one is beyond help, and that with the right support, even those who have lost everything can recover and become a meaningful member of society, holding down a job and managing a tenancy.

Left unsupported, this group places a high cost on public services through continued crime, medical care, and prison. But when given the tools to thrive, they can become role models, mentors, and valuable community members.

Rehab Fitness is a lived-experience-led organisation based in Ancoats, Manchester. We support people recovering from addiction, poor mental health, and those who are in contact with, or leaving, the criminal justice system.

We were founded by people with lived experience - including extensive involvement in the criminal justice system, as well as long-term challenges with addiction and mental health. This isn’t just something we talk about - it’s what our organisation is built on. It means we understand the reality of what people are going through, and we’re able to build genuine trust with the people we support.

A big part of our work is with people coming out of prison, on probation, or involved with drug and alcohol services linked to the criminal justice system. We’re not formally linked in with probation yet, but that’s something we’re actively working towards. At the moment, we receive referrals from drug and alcohol services, including criminal justice teams, and provide a consistent space where people can stay connected and supported.

Rehab Fitness came from seeing a clear gap. People can go through treatment, therapy, or structured programmes, but once that support reduces, there’s often very little in place to help them keep going. That’s where we come in.

We use physical activity and community as a way to support recovery. There’s strong evidence behind this, but more importantly, we see it work every day. Having somewhere to go, people to connect with, and a positive routine can make a huge difference in helping people stay well and move forward.

Right now, we run:

Two weekly gym sessions (soon to be three)
One weekly yoga session
Two volunteer-led running groups
One weekly walking group

Everything we do is designed to be welcoming, consistent, and supportive. It’s not about fitness levels - it’s about creating a space where people feel comfortable, included, and part of something.

For a lot of the people we work with, Rehab Fitness becomes a key part of their week. It helps reduce isolation, supports mental wellbeing, and gives people something positive to be part of - especially during times that can be really challenging, like leaving prison or going through recovery.

Looking ahead, we want to build on what we know works. That includes developing stronger links with probation, expanding our referral pathways, and eventually delivering sessions in prisons. The long-term goal is to create a joined-up approach - so people can be part of a positive, active community both inside and outside of prison.

We’re also interested in creating opportunities for people to gain qualifications, such as Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer, so they can leave custody with something meaningful and potentially go on to volunteer or work within this space.

We’re continuing to grow what we offer, including looking at more targeted support for specific groups, such as people recovering from ketamine use, who often face additional physical challenges.

At the heart of it, we believe everyone deserves the chance to recover and build a life that feels good. Rehab Fitness is about giving people that space, that community, and that ongoing support to make it possible.

We seek to enhance the good health, both mental and physical, of adults, young people and children by increasing public awareness of the benefit of strong relationships and working to prevent poverty, hardship and distress caused by the breakdown of such relationships.
