The people behind the purpose

ARK Resettlement Services.
Built on second chances.

We believe a criminal conviction should not define a person's future. ARK Resettlement Services is a London charity providing housing and social services for prison leavers, with a focus on those most at risk of reoffending. We celebrated our tenth anniversary at the end of 2024, a milestone in our work to help people reintegrate and live independently.
