Strategic Report

This year, prison leavers across the nation stepped into uncertain terrain. Economic hardship, housing instability, and strained health services turned reentry into an uphill climb. For many, that journey began sooner than expected—accelerated by early release measures that tested the strength of communities and support systems.

Welcome

Faced with this landscape, our mission widened—and deepened with resolve. We strengthened foundations, extended care, and built lasting partnerships rooted in support that endures.

Walk began as a vision in a prison cell—a single spark of possibility, real enough to risk everything. That moment took root in the hearts of volunteers who showed up, donors who dared to believe, and funders who chose to invest in Walk’s promise— and in the men determined to change their lives. Walk is more than a charity. It’s a community. A movement. One fuelled by mutual service, shared courage, and the healing found in journeying together.

This report goes beyond just summarising services and achievements. Each milestone—whether completing detox, securing housing, stepping into a new placement, expanding support roles, or navigating a setback with courage—marks a meaningful step forward. It honours those who made it happen—but most of all, it celebrates the men who challenge the narratives writen over their lives. Who rebuild with grit and grace. Who choose connection—and who contribute, daily, to the Walk community. Choosing a new, unfamiliar life over the chaos they’ve known is one of the greatest challenges they face. Yet they show up—with vulnerability, with discipline, and with a quiet determination to change. Walk belongs to them. And the

legacy of each man’s journey becomes a guide for those who follow in his footsteps.

As you read through this report, you’ll meet some of these people. Their names may not appear in headlines, but their impact is writen into every life touched by Walk. We honour their servanthood by continuing the journey they make possible.

This year has marked a dynamic stretch of growth, creativity, and connection across the Walk movement. From deepened relationships with local prisons to the fast-paced expansion of our Support Team, every strand of our work has been shaped by a commitment to transformation—practical, personal, and spiritual.

build with care, and keep creating space for men to rise, rebuild, and lead. We’ll continue investing in housing, trauma-informed care, and the full spectrum of needs—because if it maters to him, it maters to us. We journey with those bold enough to embrace the demanding path of personal change, knowing that transformation is never easy, but always worth it.

success rate

“Walk has quite literally saved my life. It has taught me a new way to think, and a new way to live. I didn’t get it at first, in all honesty I thought they were bonkers, but Walk met me where I was at and took the time to show me small changes that have transformed my life.”

Peter - Walk Resident

Prison

Following the sucesses of last year, we’ve continued to build on relationships established with chaplaincy, substance misuse teams, and offender management services.

These partnerships form the foundation of our outreach, enabling us to engage meaningfully across UK prisons connecting with men who are preparing for release and searching for a new beginning. Whether through worship services, resetlement stalls, shared testimonies, or oneto-one conversations, our visits create space for hope, reflection, and connection. We meet men exploring faith, seeking support, or simply curious about what Walk might offer, and are ofen invited into deeper dialogue with chaplaincy and prison staff as a result.

Each year, our outreach teams connect with around 200 men. For some, these encounters become a bridge leading from prison into the Walk programme and wider society. For others, they offer a moment of dignity and encouragement: a meaningful conversation, a reminder that change is possible. With every visit, we share Walk magazines that celebrate the journeys of our residents, offer referral forms, and begin long-term relationships with those who choose to walk with us.

While not every man will join Walk, each one receives a reminder that he is not forgoten and that every man holds worth and potential, even while serving a sentence.

The Walk Centre

residents come together in work, training, recreation, and companionship, building lives shaped by restoration, purpose, and shared responsibility. For many, this community becomes their extended family - and in some cases, the only one they’ve known. The atmosphere is warm, grounding, and rooted in the value of servanthood: the belief that we serve one another, just as Christ first served us.

Each week, the Centre hosts a wide range of activities including gym and Bible studies. Yet it’s ofen in the smaller moments where transformation takes root: a conversation over a well-earned brew, or a spirited chess match where tactics rival a Game of Thrones showdown. Beneath the banter lies a deeper truth: this is a place of lived companionship, where compassion, humility, and unity aren’t just values, but daily practices.

Behind the scenes, a commited team keeps the heartbeat steady - from prison referrals and personal development to accounts, management and communications, among the many other roles that keep the cogs of Walk turning.

This shared life calls for shared care. We adapt the Centre itself to meet the growing needs of the men we serve: every maintenance improvement, paint stroke, and layout change reflects the companionship and purpose within. This year’s renovations reflect that intentionality: a new boiler provides warmth and stability through the colder months; electrical upgrades in the middle warehouse create a safer, more usable gym space; the newly added Hose Street office makes room for quiet support and planning; and the refurbished main office breathes fresh life into our coordination hub. These aren’t just building works—they’re acts of hospitality. As the Centre evolves, so too does the community it nurtures. And together, we keep shaping a place where every person can contribute, be seen, and feel that simple, amazing truth that they belong.

Days Out

recovery: freedom. Once a week, residents from our detox and recovery homes step into the therapeutic landscapes of Staffordshire and beyond—along canal paths, beside lakes, or into the foothills of the Peak District. Most outings involve activities such as hiking, though some include beach trips, ice skating, or indoor climbing. These shared adventures spark joy, strengthen bodies, and nurture healing.

addiction, and homelessness. Institutionalisation ofen leaves behind emotional withdrawal, enforced inactivity, and a loss of autonomy—compounded by poverty and poor mental health. In this context, Days Out becomes a lifeline.

We also involve former residents in the delivery of the programme. One such individual now serves as our Entertainment Maestro, planning and leading physical and social activities - including the days out. His journey through recovery, combined with his passion for health and fitness, makes him a relatable and inspiring figure who motivates others to engage and grow.

These outings rebuild physical stamina and emotional resilience, and foster connection, all essential for lasting recovery. Through substance-free routines, residents learn to manage stress, restore self-esteem, and reconnect with their bodies in ways that feel empowering and safe. Each walk becomes part of a larger journey away from isolation and instability, and towards community, hope, and a life reclaimed.

Beach Day

In June, we took all of our residents on a muchanticipated trip to the beach at Lytham St Anne’s! Taking full advantage of the beautiful weather, we made our way to the sandy shores, where we spent the day playing a few competitive and energetic games of rounders, football, and frisbee. Some of us even enjoyed a refreshing litle dip in the sea to cool off.

Afer working up an appetite, we treated ourselves to some well-earned ice cream before piling back into the van for a nap on the way home.

and laughter, a perfect opportunity for the men to take a break from their ofen busy routines, focus on their wellbeing, strengthen friendships, and reconnect with a sense of playfulness as they embraced their inner child.

Together Festival

A dedicated group of residents from both the houses and flats stages volunteered their time and energy at the Together Festival, a vibrant, community-driven celebration of Christian faith, unity, and joy.

Held in the heart of the Black Country, the festival brought people together for a day filled with uplifing entertainment, hands-on activities, delicious food, lively music, and a spirit of fun and creativity that could be felt by all who atended.

They played an important role in supporting the event, contributing behind the scenes to help with the setup and preparation that made the day run smoothly. Their commitment and teamwork helped bring the festival to life for the wider community. But it wasn’t all work, afer lending their helping hands, they also had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the celebrations. They found time to relax, connect with others, and make the most of a truly memorable day.

Housing Stages

The Walk Journey: Stability, Community, Independence

Stable housing is one of the most critical factors in reducing reoffending. According to the Bromley Briefings, people released into safe, supported accommodation are significantly less likely to reoffend than those released homeless or into unstable housing— highlighting the urgent need for values-based housing models.

At Walk, housing is more than shelter, it’s a guided journey. From safety to shared purpose to quiet independence, each phase offers just enough structure and trust for residents to grow. Along the way, support sofens but never disappears. Residents learn to stretch, contribute, and navigate life with dignity, grounded in shared values that shape everyday choices and challenges as they journey into lives defined by purpose, resilience, and choice.

dignity, and a sense of belonging. From the quality of furnishings to the warmth of shared spaces, every detail affirms that residents are worthy of care and respect. These are not institutional setings - they are healing environments that feel like home.

Our housing model has earned recognition from Stokeon-Trent City Council as a leading example of supported accommodation proving that healing spaces, when built on values, truly change lives.

In

The Journey In begins at Bridgegate and The Railway, where men find stability through acceptance, detox, structured routines, and intense support. Here, healing starts and hope takes root.

On

The Journey On continues in Shared Supported Housing, where residents live as family sharing meals, routines and purpose as they take on more responsibility within a nurturing community.

To

The Journey To unfolds in Independent Flats, where men live autonomously, manage their own homes, and build confidence in the quiet strength of independence.

Detox

Becoming clean and whole again

Bridgegate marks the beginning of the Walk residential journey providing up to 16 weeks of stabilisation and support for men transitioning out of prison or addiction. It’s a vulnerable first step, ofen marked by withdrawal, uncertainty, and the slow rebuilding of trust. With compassion and structure, Bridgegate offers medically supervised detox in partnership with the NHS and CDAS, ensuring safety and specialist care throughout.

Support Workers with lived experience are available 24/7, offering comfort, guidance, and practical help as residents navigate detox, confront trauma, and begin learning to live more structured home lives. They play a vital role in building relational trust, offering insight and encouragement rooted in empathy and shared understanding.

Beyond detox, a daily rhythm helps restore calm and purpose. Wellbeing sessions strengthen emotional resilience, while creative therapies such as expressive writing, art, and furniture restoration offer space for reflection and healing. Physical and social activities, from table tennis to allotment gardening, bring movement and joy. Shared meals, games nights, and Bible studies foster connection and spiritual grounding.

This is where the journey begins, but it’s also where dignity is restored, trust rebuilt, and hope begins to take root.

17

The Railway

Strengthening Sobriety, Contributing In Community

Afer the foundational work of detox and stabilisation at Bridgegate, residents move into The Railway, a nurturing environment where sobriety is strengthened through purpose, connection, and gentle forward motion. With stays ranging from 2 weeks to 6 months, this phase provides structured support while allowing men to start contributing and connecting beyond themselves.

Volunteering becomes a key part of daily life, with residents joining local community projects such as landscaping at Rudyard lake, work on the cleaning team, and supporting hospitality at the Walk Centre that build confidence, expand relational skills, and step into the truth of their own worth. These first steps into service are always supported, slow, deliberate, and deeply transformative.

The rhythms of daily life continue to nurture residents emotionally and spiritually. One-to-one counselling and group wellbeing sessions provide space for growth and resilience. Physical and social activities, shared meals, games nights, and Bible studies round out a familystyle environment, where every man is seen, valued, and encouraged on his journey.

In The Railway, healing becomes momentum and residents begin to experience themselves not just as survivors, but contributors to the world around them.

Supported Houses

Living with Purpose, Growing in Responsibility

Afer recovery at The Railway, residents move into Walksupported homes, where 4–5 men live as a family, growing together in trust, responsibility, and faith.

Here, shared meals, communal shopping, and informal moments of connection help foster a sense of family. It’s a place where trust deepens, mutual support becomes instinctive, and men learn to navigate life beyond institutional structures—with greater autonomy, and together.

Daily rhythms like meal prep, shared prayer, and gentle routines create a culture of mutual encouragement. Personal Development Plans guide each resident through practical steps—from debt and emotional healing to employment and deeper spiritual growth.

Each home is anchored by a resident “house parent,” offering lived insight and day-to-day reassurance. Staff presence is gentle but steady, allowing men to stretch into independence without losing their safety net.

Here, volunteering and part-time work become stepping stones into long-term purpose. Residents begin contributing not just to their homes but to the wider world—building confidence, expanding relational skills, and discovering what it means to give back.

And through everyday choices and challenges, men begin to realise they’re not just surviving. They’re thriving, and helping others do the same.

19

Independent Flats

Learning to live alone, knowing you’re never alone IIn the final phase of the Walk journey, residents step into a new kind of freedom: semi-supported living in independent flats. Over 6 to 12 months, each man begins to manage his own household—cooking, handling utilities and personal expenses, volunteering, and ofen transitioning into parttime work. This stage is not just about running a home— it’s about inhabiting one. As they take full responsibility for daily life, they build confidence and begin to establish a tenancy history, laying the foundations for permanent housing when they’re ready to move on from Walk.

offer guidance to progress into full-time employment and secure short-term tenancies when they leave Walk. The Walk Centre remains a safe and familiar place to return to—with open doors, open hearts, and the ketle always on.

One man, now in his thirties, shared how profound this chapter had been. “I’ve never lived on my own before. It was always sofas, streets, shared rooms, prison. I didn’t know how to just sit with myself.” For him, and many others, this phase is both a homecoming and a brave new beginning.

pride in self-sufficiency, and the assurance that though their seting may change, they remain rooted in a community that believes in their journey—and in who they’re becoming.

Church Partnerships

Welcoming Men Home

At Walk, we believe every person returning from prison deserves more than a second chance. They deserve to reintegrate into communities that accept them, recognise their worth, and honour their journey. That’s why we’ve partnered with churches across the city to train and equip them to “welcome men home”, not just into buildings, but into belonging. Each Walk property is linked with a local church, offering residents a rich and varied experience of church life across denominations including; House of Prayer, Methodist, Evangelical, and Pentecostal, reflecting our commitment to being non-denominational and inclusive in our approach to faith.

they’ll encounter the wider community afer years of incarceration. It’s a moment filled with vulnerability and possibility. These churches, shaped by grace and guided by compassion, offer a rare kind of welcome, one that affirms their value, extends support, and reminds them they are not alone.

UK studies like Faith in Prisons, Belief in Change, and Faith Moves Mountains consistently show that faith-based engagement during and afer incarceration can foster emotional healing, moral reflection, and stronger relationships, all key factors in reducing reoffending. While national statistics don’t yet isolate faith as a variable, the broader picture is clear: connection, purpose, and community mater. In England and Wales, the average reoffending rate stands at 26.3%, rising to 48.4% for thef-related offences. In contrast, 89% of previous Walk residents have not returned to prison - a powerful testament to what’s possible when men are welcomed into communities that offer dignity, wraparound support, and journey with them in faith and friendship.

Through Walk and our church partnerships, men are invited to explore faith within communities that recognise their humanity and support their growth. Together, we’re helping men grow in faith, re-enter society and rediscover hope for their future.

Rudyard Lake

Healing Through Nature, Giving Through Service

Moorlands, welcoming over 500,000 visitors each year. Owned by the Canal & River Trust and managed by Rudyard Lake Ltd, it offers some of the most dramatic scenery in the region—a place where stillness, beauty, and open skies invite reflection and renewal. Just 30 minutes from our offices in Stoke, Rudyard holds a special place in the hearts of all at Walk. It offers not only an escape into nature, but a partnership rooted in restoration, growth, and community.

Through our long-standing partnership, residents take part in a unique volunteering placement that combines practical skill-building with the healing power of nature. Under the kind leadership and guidance of Ray Perry, they help maintain the landscape while learning teamwork, communication, and consistency. As they

contribute to the upkeep of the lake, they begin to experience the joy of giving back, knowing their efforts help preserve this breathtaking space for others to enjoy. Their work supports the wider community and contributes to the lake’s financial sustainability, while also preparing them for employment and offering a gentle introduction to responsibility, routine, and purpose.

Afer their work, residents ofen enjoy recreational activities like paddleboarding, moments of freedom and joy that complement the discipline of volunteering. They also took part in Rudyard’s Honey Lives On project: an art workshops centered around the canal boat Honey, offering a safe, creative space for reflection and emotional healing.

Rudyard Lake is also the seting for some of our most meaningful gatherings. We host family meetings here, where the peaceful surroundings offer a gentle space for loved ones to take tentative steps toward reconciliation. It’s also where we run training sessions and gather each year for our annual sports day—a celebration of progress, community, and shared joy.This partnership with Rudyard Lake is a mutual exchange of care, trust, and transformation. As our residents help tend the land, Rudyard offers them space to heal, grow, and reconnect. Together, we preserve something precious: not just the beauty of the lake, but the belief that restoration is possible—through service, through nature, and through community.

Restoration Shack

Crafing purpose, Restoring lives

As part of our placement programme, men in Bridgegate who are undergoing detox atend the Restoration Shack once a week to participate in a creative workshop that offers more than just woodworking. It’s a gentle introduction to volunteering, a chance to step beyond the safe confines of the detox home, and a space where hands-on activity becomes a pathway to healing.

At the Restoration Shack, old-furniture is given new life, vintage gems are restored, wooden pieces are upcycled, and new creations are crafed with care. In the process, something deeper happens: as men sand, shape, and rebuild, they begin to restore parts of themselves too.

contribution. It helps build practical and personal skills - confidence, resilience, and self worth all while fostering social connection and inclusion.

We are deeply grateful to Linda whose compassion, creativity, and commitment continue to make the Restoration Shack a place of healing, hope, and transformation.

place of vulnerability. Perhaps, with a feeling of inadequacy and brokenness, but as they engage in the creative process within the workshop, and produce a beautiful piece of furniture, they feel accomplished and valued.” - Restoration Shack

“Having a project to work on and be proud of is a form of therapy. Going there is peaceful, and great for my mental health. We are not just restoring old furniture but restoring parts of ourselves in the process.” - Ruairi, Walk Resident

Events

Fixed 2024

In November all of our residents enjoyed a day trip to Bolton for the 2024 Fixed Conference.

The day, orchestrated by Barry Woodward and The Proclaim Trust, is a one day conference filled with inspiring testimony and word for recovering addicts and people with a heart for addicts.

The day contained vibrant, lively worship from the Victory Outreach band and hosted a great line-up of speakers including Alison Fenning (Mission on the Move), Paul Lloyd (Victory Outreach Manchester), and Clyde Thomas (Hope Centre Ministries).

We also hosted a stall where those atending the conference, and other organisations could speak to us, find out more about what we do, and take away our literature such as magazines and flyers.

Resetlement Fair

The Substance Misuse Team from HMP Dovegate invited us to be part of their resetlement fair where prisoners nearing the end of their sentence were able to visit stalls and see what support is avaliable to them upon release.

operations teams represented Walk at the event and spoke to the men. This resulted in many applications and we have since wecomed residents from HMP Dovegate.

Volunteering Journey

Volunteering that rebuilds lives

access to safe housing—removing urgent pressures and creating space to recover and rebuild. From this foundation, residents engage in training and volunteering opportunities that foster social connection and develop transferable skills for employment.

Volunteering is widely recognised as a catalyst for personal growth. According to the UK Household Longitudinal Study, it’s associated with improved mental health, increased social capital, and stronger community ties - all key factors in reducing the risk of reoffending.

Walk’s volunteering model has been honoured with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, recognising its role in restoring dignity, sparking transformation, and building bridges back into community life.

Volunteering & Placements

and change.

Over the past year, our Operations Manager and her team have worked tirelessly to secure new partnerships and expand the variety of placements available. Their efforts have ensured that opportunities are beter matched to the individual needs, interests, and capabilities of the men—making volunteering not just accessible, but deeply meaningful.

At Walk, placements range from support work, gardening, and decorating to canal boat building, cleaning contracts, health advocacy with the Hep C Trust, the Entertainment Maestro who arranges gym sessions and recreation activities, and a growing number of office-based roles. These experiences strengthen CVs, build payslip history, and nurture confidence, purpose, and long-term independence—providing a space where men can begin to shape a future beyond prison.

programme this year, with more residents transitioning into part-time and full-time work through our partner network.

Training

At Walk Ministries, we continue to prioritise training and development as a cornerstone of personal growth and organisational effectiveness. Over the year, staff, volunteers, and residents have engaged in a wide range of training opportunities that strengthen skills, deepen faith, and promote wellbeing. During the year training included:

Emergency Response: Defibrillator training, ensuring confident, life-saving support in emergencies.

Spiritual Development: spiritual discernment and integrate faith into daily life.

Relational Safety: Bespoke training with Glow equips participants to recognise healthy relationships, improve communication, and foster respectful connections.

Relationship-Based Workshops: In partnership with Charlie Weinberg, we continue to deliver creative workshops for all residents that use art and drama to explore relational control, manipulation, and behavioural impact. These sessions promote social inclusion and help residents reflect on how their actions affect themselves and those around them. The methodology fosters self-awareness, agency, and accountability, and now underpins ongoing training across personal and community contexts.

Sexual Health Awareness: New training empowers residents with knowledge around sexual health, consent, and emotional wellbeing, supported by confidential testing and open dialogue.

Health Initiatives: Our continued work with the Hepatitis C Trust has led to full BBV testing and treatment for all men in rehab, with new arrivals now screened upon induction—positioning Walk as a city-wide leader in proactive health care.

Support Team Growth: transformative roles for men progressing through Walk. Under the mentorship of the Operations Manager and experienced staff, new team members are building confidence, developing practical skills, and contributing meaningfully across logistics, property, group facilitation, and prison referrals. Several placements have already transitioned into paid roles, reflecting the power of lived experience and the effectiveness of our peer-led model.

Funding

Fundraising in a Landscape of Scarcity and Hope

Charitable funding in the UK is more competitive than ever. Since 2020, many funders have seen a 30–50% rise in applications. At the same time, rising costs, shrinking public grants, and the cost-of-living crisis have pushed frontline charities to the brink—just as demand for poverty relief, mental health support, and community restoration has surged.

For Walk, this means tighter margins and greater pressure, even as resident needs grow. Our funding model depends on core and project grants to cover essentials that Housing Benefit doesn’t—quiet but vital needs like clean clothing, stable housing, reliable transport, counselling, and the shared humanity of a warm home or nutritious meal.

Giving

From Grants to Grace: The giving That Powers Walk

Every gif, whatever its size, delivers a message no spreadsheet can capture: someone believes in their future. That kind of belief is transformative. It tells a man rebuilding his life that he is not alone—and that his future is worth investing in.

Trusts and Foundations – Deepening the Journey

In the reporting period we received support from a remarkable circle of trusts and foundations whose values reflect our own: justice, restoration, and the power of second chances.

With gratitude to: Hanley at Home, Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust, 1772 Charity, National Grid Community Maters Fund, Oak Trust, Grace Trust, Alex Trust, Edward & Dorothy Cadbury Trust, Belpech Trust, Northdrif Foundation, Jeremy Alexander Setlement, and Forest Hill Charitable Trust.

Together, these partners made deep, lasting investments into rehabilitation, vocational training, holistic care, and everyday essentials. Their generosity has enabled us to offer steadier, more enduring support to the men we journey with.

Individual and Church Giving – A Tapestry of Love

Alongside them, individuals and churches gave with quiet faithfulness—offering monthly contributions and one-off donations to men they may never meet. In a year when inflation tested every household, these gifs—and the personal cost they ofen represent—are profoundly appreciated. A £5 monthly gif may seem modest, but woven together with the generosity of others, it becomes a foundation where hope is planted and cultivated.

Bringing Walk Together

Everyone in the Walk community shares a common purpose and values, this community may be spread over different properties and workplaces, given our different roles or journeys. We therefore plan a range of activities that bring Walk together to ensure that we maintain connections, get to know each other beter and enhance everyone’s sense of belonging.

Team Building

properties and roles, we remain united by shared values and a commitment to building a community where everyone belongs.

We stay connected through team building activities that nurture peace, humility, and unity - sharing laughter over badminton matches, wild swimming, and rollercoasters at Alton Towers, and gathering for wreathmaking and creative workshops.

The Walk ladies enjoyed a Christmas lunch gifed by support staff, while the men celebrated at an all-youcan-eat buffet. Mal, our Finance Officer, cooked a heartfelt Easter lunch to thank the team for creating a Haf Sin table—an Iranian New Year tradition honouring renewal and hope.

33

Christmas

Christmas can be a tender time for those far from family or navigating painful memories. For some, the season brings reminders of neglect, loss, or growing up outside traditional family structures. At Walk, we recognise these complexities—and respond with warmth, dignity, and togetherness. We become the family that gathers, celebrates, and makes space for joy. From shared meals to thoughtful gifs and festive activities, we’re determined to create a Christmas to remember—one marked not by what’s missing, but by what’s shared.

Talent Show

Our Talent Show brought out the best in everyone-from heartfelt poetry and soulful singing to unexpected dance moves and hidden skills we never saw coming (and may never unsee). The room was alive with encouragement and camaraderie, reminding us just how gifed, brave, and delightfully unpredictable our Walk family truly is.

storytelling, and plenty of laughter. Beneath the humour, it echoed a deeper truth: that joy is sacred, and hope ofen arrives in humble form. For many at Walk, the birth of Christ resonates personally, a reminder that healing is possible and every life is worthy of renewal. As Luke 4:18 declares, He came “to proclaim freedom for the prisoners… to set the oppressed free.” In that light, our Nativity was a celebration of restoration, belonging, and new beginnings.

We held a Christingle service, where light and symbolism helped us reflect on hope, peace, and the meaning of Christmas. Each orange, candle, and ribbon carried a message of love and restoration— reminding us that even in the darkest seasons, light can be shared.

Christmas Meal

Our annual Christmas lunch at Tandoori Knights was a feast of Indian delights. Picture 45 men and the Walk ladies filling every table in a local restaurant, laughter echoing between plates of sizzling tikka and spicy vindaloo. It’s become a cherished tradition that turns a simple meal into a celebration of belonging, joy, and shared memory. The staff at Tandoori Knights now greet us like old friends (and brace themselves for the annual naan shortage).

“Last Christmas Eve I was sat on basic in HMP Oakwood trying to figure out what I was going to do on release. I am now sat in the office, and watching over residents as we prepare for Christmas 2024 – clean, sober, healthy, warm, fed and loved.”

Sports Day

Our second annual Sports Day at Rudyard Lake was a celebration of movement, laughter, and connection. Staff and residents came together not for medals or records, but to embrace the joy of being a bit silly with egg-and-spoon races, three-legged dashes, and wheelbarrow relays reminded us how good it feels to laugh, wobble, and cheer each other on. The spirit was electric, inviting us to nurture our inner child and lean into teamwork, especially when literally tied to your partner in a three-legged race.

Afer the races, we enjoyed peaceful time on the water paddling, chating, and soaking in the lake’s beauty. Though “on the water” might be generous, some spent more time in it than planned, thanks to enthusiastic rowing and questionable balance. But the laughter that followed was worth every soggy sock.

We then gathered as one big Walk family to share a Rudyard-famous lunch with hearty portions, second helpings, and the kind of banter only found around a well-fed table. As the saying goes, the family that eats together… ends up arguing over the last sausage roll. Sports Day reminded us that dignity lives in joy, and that healing ofen begins with people caring for each other and building new, affirming memories side by side.

The Year Ahead

As Walk Ministries enters its 13th year, we remain steadfast in our mission: supporting men on their journey to freedom. Our programme continues to evolve in response to the needs of those we serve, with a renewed emphasis on personal agency, dignity, and long-term reintegration. .

In the year ahead, we will deepen our investment in:

values-led opportunities to build confidence, develop skills, and transition into meaningful employment rooted in purpose and belonging.

Prison outreach, with dedicated teams expanding our presence inside. We aim to reach men who are ready for change but lack the support to begin. Through consistent, relational engagement, we offer hope, practical tools, and belief in their potential, ofen before they believe it themselves.

the programme. It is profoundly encouraging to see former beneficiaries stepping into leadership, bringing lived experience, insight, and empathy. Their presence strengthens our culture of dignity and shared purpose, lighting the way for those who follow and reminding us that restoration is not just possible, it’s contagious.

Looking ahead, our vision is to see more men not only reintegrated, but thriving—becoming mentors, leaders, and contributors to the communities they once felt excluded from. We remain commited to reducing reoffending, homelessness, and substance misuse, while restoring family connections and strengthening communities.

As we step into the year ahead, we do so with faith—faith that transformation is possible, even when the path is unclear. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). This verse reminds us that hope is not passive—it’s active, grounded in trust and perseverance. Each life changed is a testament to that faith, and together, we will continue to walk toward a more compassionate, resilient future.

Financial Review

strengthening financial performance for the charity, building on the operational growth achieved in the previous year following the expansion of residential services.

Total income for the year was £1,359,148 (2024: £1,173,623), representing an increase of 15.8% year on year. This significant growth was primarily driven by increased Housing income, which rose to £1,202,800 (2024: £993,799), an increase of 21.0%, reflecting a full year impact of expanded bed capacity and sustained occupancy levels.

Investment income remained consistent at £5,520 (2024: £5,530), and voluntary income from donations and legacies remained steady at £10,295 (2024: £10,268), demonstrating ongoing support from individual donors.

Total expenditure for the year was £1,170,820 (2024: £984,637), representing an increase of 18.9%. This increase reflects the cost base required to support expanded service delivery, together with general price increases arising from the current economic climate.

Despite the rise in expenditure, the charity generated a net surplus of £188,328(2024: £188,986), representing continued strong operating performance.Unrestricted funds increased to £757,719 (2024: £556,687), strengthening the charity’s free cash reserves to £444,517.

of restricted funding during the year. Total funds carried forward at year end were £763,398 (2024: £575,070), with reserves built up to support the planned purchase of a property for £195,000.00.

39

The trustees recognise the importance of maintaining adequate reserves in an environment of continued economic uncertainty and rising cost pressures. The surplus generated this year provides greater financial resilience and supports the charity’s strategy to maintain high-quality residential and rehabilitative services, while continuing to explore opportunities to diversify income streams and secure long-term sustainability.

Reserves Policy

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to operational needs and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.

Financial Planning & Monitoring

Detailed budgets are produced prior to the commencement of the year to establish the level of funding required to cover expenditure, this enables us to set targets for our funding strategy and to secure funds required. Management accounts are generated monthly providing key information for financial operations.
