Prison Restoration Outreach (PRO)

Prison Restoration Outreach grew from Newjoy’s Christmas gift ministry to people in custody at HMP Leeds (Armley). Following the pandemic, an invitation from the prison chaplaincy opened a door for church members to lead a service of praise, worship and the Word.

Since 2022, Newjoy has continued annual visits, sharing the message of Jesus Christ, forgiveness, dignity and the hope of transformation. The ministry reports more than 70 professions of faith through this outreach to date.

Our vision

We seek to encourage people in custody, support the work of prison chaplaincy, and extend Gospel outreach to more prisons as opportunities and permissions allow. All activities are subject to prison safeguarding, security and chaplaincy requirements.
