ARK Resettlement Services (ARKRS) is a supported-housing charity for people transitioning from the criminal justice system. The organisation celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2024. Over the last decade, it has grown from an idea to a charity with a turnover of around £1million. This growth means ARKRS is moving from a phase characterised by entrepreneurship and opportunism, into a time of greater organisational stability and operational maturity.

Most charities want to act on the social impacts of the climate and nature crises. To accelerate action, more collaboration and funding is needed says Liz Gadd, co-lead of the Everyone’s Environment programme. In the first year of the Everyone’s Environment programme, NPC and over 50 partners have increased understanding across the sector of the social impacts of the environmental crises. Along the way, we have also identified some common barriers to action.
