## **Objectives and Achievements** 

Our Charity aim is ‘to befriend mainly ‘lifer’ prisoners in HMP Leyhill, South Gloucester or other prisons if requested, building up a relationship of trust until they are released when we then mentor them until they can stand on their own two feet so that they NEVER REOFFEND AGAIN’. 

Re-offending costs the tax payer over £10 billion a year as 60% of ex-offenders re-offend within 2 years of release. New Beginnings 4U Trustees ask WHY? The outside world just seem to treat ex-offenders as ‘problems’ but NB4U treat them as ‘human beings who deserve a second chance’.  As a Christian Charity we read in the Bible on 3 occasions ‘the Lord has appointed me to bring good news to the poor, He has sent me to comfort the broken hearted and to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed’ Jesus felt these words in the Old testament of the Bible SO important, that he preached on them in his first sermon. 

NB4U has been in operation for 13 years and gradually as Covid restrictions started to ease through 2021 we began to get back into our usual routine visiting our residents in HMP Leyhill on a monthly basis and when lock-down was lifted going to North & East England, then South England and Wales. All our clients really  appreciate our twice yearly visits of encouragement. We continued to send them Birthday & Christmas Gifts of £20  and  buying  them  treats  on  their  ROTL  day’s  and  their  Home  Leaves  which recommenced during the last 3 months of the year 

We  still like to think that we are here to build their trust, listen to their worries and concerns especially of deferred action. We never condemn or criticise them but offer them hope and a chance to turn their life around. We like the words of Henry Ford who said  ‘Failure  is  simply  the  opportunity  to  begin  life  again  more  intelligently’  These residents need people around them interested in them as human beings, who have served their sentence and now deserve a second chance. 

NB4U volunteers meet them on the Release on Temporary Licence days, and help them fulfil tasks like accompanying them to their Probation Officer appointment, opening a bank Account, buying a mobile phone and visiting the library and anything else that helps them settle into the outside world. 

Our supportive house continues to help 2 friends. One ex-offender and the other in need of supported and comfortable housing. 

We appreciate the contact we still  have via Zoom The South West Mentoring Alliance in Exeter. It is good when you are new and small to have support and advice from larger organisations. 

Since we started the work in 2009 we have helped 72 men.  We give hope to around 24 guys either still in prison or recently released and in Hostels. Many of the others seek our advice when they require it. So what about the future? 

## **Future Plans** 

Over the next year we plan to:- 

Get things back to normal 

Have a second Trustee ‘away day’ to bond together and talk about the future 



Recruit more Prison Visitors, 

Strive to increase our financial support from local Churches and donors and 

Continue to explore donations from Trusts and Companies. 

By order of the Trustees

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (Charity Number 1181107) for the year ended 31st December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the Charity Trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act).

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
