Together we’re
Recycling Lives

Changing lives through offender rehabilitation, residential support and food redistribution

Rehabilitating offenders
Reducing reoffending

We support men and women in prisons across the UK to reduce reoffending rates. By engaging them in meaningful work we help offenders to develop skills, confidence and resilience ready to secure a good job and stable housing on release.

Feeding communities

We redistribute surplus stock from supermarkets and suppliers to charities and community groups. By providing quality food we help groups to reduce their running costs and feed vulnerable communities while also reducing food waste. We are proud to be part of the national FareShare network.
