At Prisoners Abroad, we pride ourselves on building successful partnerships with companies of all sizes. We know that each company we partner with is unique – with their own vision, brand mission and strategic priorities. That’s why we always tailor-make our approach, to help you get the most out of your partnership with us and make the most impact for people who are in life threatening conditions, imprisoned abroad and their families.
We have experience of working with diverse companies including law firms, banks and government bodies.
We’d like to work with you and your team to create a partnership and show clearly the impact your support makes to British people affected by overseas imprisonment.
Whether you’d like to support the charity as an individual within your company or engage your whole team, we will work with you to find the activities which suit you, your staff and your business. We have lots of ideas which we can discuss including strategic CSR projects, sponsorship, company donations, payroll giving, gift in kind, sporting challenges, gala events or volunteering.

Thanks to all our corporate partners who have been busy this year supporting prisoners overseas in different ways.
We were honoured to be selected for RealFundraising’s charity of the year in 2017-18. They raised an amazing £1,600 and have kindly nominated us again this year. Thank you to everyone at RealFundraising who gave their time and support to help people who are too often forgotten.
Prisoners Abroad are an amazing charity who share our view that people are still people no matter what they've done, who they are or where they are. They remember the forgotten souls who are miles from home with nothing but desperation and despair to keep them company, giving them that glimmer of hope and reassurance that there will be a brighter tomorrow.

For many years Baker Mckenzie has supported Prisoners Abroad with Pro Bono works making sure prisoners overseas know their rights and helping the organisation run smoothly. We really appreciate their continued help and support.
Their employees are also keen participants in our Christmas Card Scheme. We are currently working with 1,002 Britons that will be facing Christmas alone in prison overseas, many miles away from their families and friends and this scheme makes a huge difference to reducing a prisoner’s isolation.
Baker McKenzie is committed to promoting human rights and welfare, so we are very proud to support Prisoners Abroad's important and impactful work, through both legal advice and the annual Christmas card scheme.
- Baker McKenzie
Thank you all for your cards, how kind of you. It's surprising how much a couple of Christmas cards make a person feel, just a little contact from people who care.

Thanks to the Matrix Causes Fund we can run our newsletter programme. Our newsletter is a wonderful resource which includes stories, poems and drawings written by our services users as well as vital information on how to navigate foreign criminal justice systems and how to survive overseas imprisonment. Many prisoners have told us how it reduces their isolation:
Receiving stuff from you guys is making everything easier, reading the stories in your magazine has given me hope and a sense of living and belief that things can change and basically, life is not over.

Matrix Causes Fund is proud to support Prisoners Abroad who work tirelessly to promote access to justice which is one of our key funding criteria.

We are very fortunate to be the recipients of a grant from the Allen and Overy Foundation. This makes such a difference to people returning from overseas imprisonment. Deportees have served their sentence, but then have the second punishment of being separated from family, friends, livelihoods and everyone and everything they know.
Thanks to funding from the Allen and Overy Foundation ex-offenders have the immediate support to rebuild their lives after imprisonment.
Without these services and help I would have been homeless.
