Walk Ministries

Walk supports men who have been released from prison, to make ongoing changes and choices from a cycle of prison, addiction and negative behaviour to employment and independence. By providing housing, drug detox, counselling, training and employment we eliminate the most serious risks for relapse.

#96hourchallenge

Four men from Walk Ministries just completed the #96hourchallenge raising £3,300 of our £5,000 target towards Christmas dinners for the many residents from our 5 partner charities. These charities support people who have experienced homelessness, addiction and even prison.

The #96hourchallenge including cycling a total of 176 miles and camping out for 4 days and nights. We had £12.53 each per day to live on. Why £12.53 a day? That’s the universal credit that a person living on the street, coming out of prison or addiction lives on!

About us

We are a charity that enables people like Darren, a previous resident, to say: "I have been out of prison now for over four years, before that I could never last more than six months before getting sent back. In my life so far I have had thirty years of addiction and twenty five years of prison, so where I am now is a good place."

Walk is a holistic programme that is customised to the unique needs of each of the (average of) 60 men per year that we work with. We run one and two year intensive programmes, teaching them about life and faith in a family environment.

Andy who works alongside the Walk Team describes Walk as follows: "At Walk the men are not known by their worst offence or most dangerous behaviour, they are given an opportunity to remove the labels that have been placed on them and imagine what it would be like to belong as a positive influence in the world. And trust me, this is not as idealistic as it sounds, there is routine, rigour and intense discipline in the Walk programme, but there is also hope, faith and a determined belief that men who come out of prison are not destined to return in an endless loop of addiction, criminality and offence."
