WELCOME!

Imago Dei is a charity, committed to equipping women in prison and upon their release to live in their fullest potential, set free from their past, knowing their true value and identity in life.

At the heart of Imago Dei is the desire to see the women we work with live out their true identity and purpose. We believe that no one should be defined by their past or even their current circumstances.

There are many reasons and contributing factors as to why women find themselves in prison. By helping to address these issues during the time spent in custody we believe we are offering real practical solutions. We want to equip and empower women to live with purpose, enabling them to make better life choices and to live as valuable members of the community. This in turn has a positive knock-on effect on family-life, mental wellbeing and society, as well as helping to reduce re-offending.

Imago Dei was started in 2016 and since then almost 700 women have participated in our courses. We currently work in three women's prisons alongside Chaplaincy departments facilitating various courses and providing pastoral support and care for individuals, as well as Bible study, worship events and Sunday services. We are mentoring women in prison and continuing our support upon their release, working with women of all faiths and none.
