Restoring Lives through Community, Support & Faith.

57:Fourteen works with prisoners and ex-offenders to rebuild their lives through Christian mentoring, practical support and lasting community connection.

Church Links

We connect people leaving prison with a local church that will welcome them, building a circle of support to help them settle back into life outside.

Mentorship

A trained mentor to walk alongside someone in prison and after release, offering friendship, encouragement and practical help with their next step.

Why Our Work Matters

Leaving prison is a critical moment. Without a safe place to live, a job or someone to turn to, too many people end up back where they started. The evidence shows how much support matters.

Stable housing, work and community make the difference, and that’s where 57:Fourteen and local churches come in.

Our mission

Our mission is to promote the rehabilitation and resettlement of people in the criminal justice system, and to help those at risk of offending. We do this through Christian mentoring, practical support, training and the welcome of local churches, so that people can take their rightful place in the community. We serve people of any faith or none across Northwest England, Wales and Cheshire.
