CCN Fundraising Walking Marathon

"Walking With Prison Leavers to Rebuild Their Lives"

Community Chaplaincy Norfolk (CCN) trains and supports volunteer mentors to walk alongside prison leavers, offering practical, emotional, and spiritual support as they begin to rebuild their lives. CCN is a Christian charity, and at our heart is the principle that everyone has inherent value, regardless of their past, and should be given compassion, forgiveness and hope. We welcome prison leavers and mentors of all faiths and none.

The image of walking with someone is at the heart of what we do. Our mentors do not lead our clients, nor do they judge them. Instead, they walk alongside our clients, supporting them in their journey of rehabilitation and re-integration with society. Our fundraising walking marathon is emblematic of this process, and an opportunity to celebrate all the hard work our mentors do.

To date, we have supported over 200 clients in rebuilding their lives. But the pressures facing the criminal justice system, and those leaving prison, have never been greater. You can help support us to continue doing this vital work by donating and supporting our fundraising walking marathon.

A team of staff, volunteers, and clients, will be walking along the Marriot's Way, starting from Norwich city centre. Those taking part are invited to walk as much as they'd like -- be it one mile, or the whole 26!

Every donation, no matter how small, will be gratefully appreciated, and will help us to recruit more volunteer mentors, expand our provision, and support more people looking to rebuild their lives.
