Double Your Donation

For our Summer Appeal, we're asking you if you'd like to double your donation. Every donation received will be match funded - so you can make an even bigger impact!

Our trauma-sensitive yoga and meditation programmes support the rehabilitation of offenders and improve education and training opportunities for people in prison, with an evidence-based approach to enhancing wellbeing, reducing recidivism, and preparing individuals for life beyond custody.

Story

This summer, you have the chance to help someone rebuild their life from the inside out.

For a limited time, every donation will be doubled thanks to a generous match fund - meaning your impact goes twice as far.

Your support doesn’t just fund yoga and mindfulness classes in prisons. It helps create deep personal transformation. It gives someone the tools to heal, reconnect with themselves, and build a different future, for themselves, their families, and their communities.

If you would like to make a donation, but remove the "tip" to JustGiving, please follow the steps below.

1. Click through to make your donation as normal.

2. On the donation page, you’ll see a section called “Tip JustGiving” or “Support JustGiving”.

3. Select “Enter custom amount” or click the dropdown amount options.

4. Change the tip amount to £0.

5. Continue with your donation checkout as usual.

Your full donation will still go directly to The Prison Phoenix Trust.

Jasper's story

When Jasper first woke up in a prison cell, he felt like a “broken human.” The weight of what he had done – and the harm he had caused – felt unbearable. He describes those early days as being “wrapped in cling film”: tight, suffocating, and impossible to escape.

In the middle of that pressure, Jasper found something unexpected: a yoga mat.

“Yoga gave me three inches of air around myself.” – Jasper

For Jasper, yoga wasn’t just exercise. It was the first moment of stillness he had felt in years. A place where his nervous system could settle. A space where he could breathe again. He says:

I was claiming back a little bit of personal space and creating three inches of air around myself. It gave me armour. My anxiety would go; that fight-or-flight tension just dissipated. It gave me the breathing room to carry me through the week.

Week by week, Jasper rebuilt himself from the inside out. He learned to sit with difficult emotions, to reflect without fear, and to imagine a future beyond the walls around him.

From Rock Bottom to a New Beginning

Since his release in 2024, Jasper has transformed his life – and the lives of others. He has:

launched a fitness business

supported people facing homelessness

mentored young men at risk of incarceration

His journey shows what becomes possible when someone is given the tools to heal. Change on the inside becomes change on the outside.

With your help, people can move from hopelessness to purpose, from surviving to truly living. Because when we invest in the wellbeing of people in prison, we invest in a safer, more compassionate society for everyone.
