Empowering Women, Changing Lives

At UkExFemalePrisoner, we believe in the power of second chances. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for ex female prisoners to rebuild their lives and thrive. Our support services are designed to empower women of all backgrounds, providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed, providing them with a smoother transition back into the community after prison release.

Together, we can make a difference and create a brighter future for women in our community.

Who We Are

Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives. From the moment we started our work in 2021, we understood that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch UkExFemalePrisoner. We strive to  support ex female prisoners back into the community, and to create and develop more opportunities for them.
