'New Bridge to me is brilliant it's a link to the outside world out of the walls and bars, it's visits and a form of normality whilst in prison' newbridgefoundation.org.uk/70th-anniversa…

Volunteer Zoë has taken on a '70 for 70' fundraising challenge, committing to walking 70 miles of the England Coast Path this year - a mile for each year New Bridge has been supporting isolated people in prison. Thanks Zoë! You can sponsor Zoë here: justgiving.com/page/zoe-newbr…

A really lovely opening to a letter we received today from one of the people in #prison that our #volunteers befriend

To mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week, #volunteer Zoe has written a blog post about neurodiversity in prisons, and how the consistency of befrienders can be a helpful support. Check it out here: newbridgefoundation.org.uk/blog/new-bridg…

We received lots of engaging entries for our 70th anniversary logo design competition, submitted by the people we support across #prisons in England and Wales. We particularly like all of the details and use of colour that went into this entry! newbridgefoundation.org.uk/70th-anniversa…

We received a lovely letter from a service user telling us how they'd responded to a member of #prison staff asking for their feedback about our befriending service 😊 #volunteers #charity newbridgefoundation.org.uk/70th-anniversa…

Another fantastic entry for our logo design competition. We love the bright colours and the motto - we couldn't have put it better ourselves! What do you like about this design? Could you support us to continue befriending people this year and beyond? newbridgefoundation.org.uk/70-for-70

Faye recommends #volunteering with us because she recognises the power of a letter to help people in #prison to feel seen, valued, and less lonely. Could you follow her lead and befriend someone in need of connection? newbridgefoundation.org.uk/what-does-volu… #StudentVolunteeringWeek

Esme finds her befriending to be the perfect amount of commitment to fit alongside her studies in criminology, and has gained confidence and developed her communication skills through her #Volunteering Ready to follow Esme's lead? newbridgefoundation.org.uk/what-does-volu… #StudentVolunteeringWeek

Phoebe is enjoying learning more about the criminal justice system to complement her studies, whilst also knowing she is making a difference to someone else's life. #StudentVolunteeringWeek Could you find the time to help make a difference? newbridgefoundation.org.uk/what-does-volu…

Frederique values the connection with fellow #volunteers that she enjoys as part of her befriending, and the skills it helps her to utilise in her personal life as well as her studies. #StudentVolunteeringWeek

Holly's reflections for #StudentVolunteeringWeek include how much difference you can make to somebody's wellbeing with such a small time commitment. Do you have the time to give to help bring positive change to someone in #prison? newbridgefoundation.org.uk/volunteer

Megan has gained personally from #Volunteering over the last few years, helping her develop skills and stay connected to the world beyond university, all whilst providing companionship, understanding and a sense of belonging to the people she befriends. #StudentVolunteeringWeek
