AP Foundation Hub
Our History

AP Foundation was born in 2013, from a prison cell at HMP Belmarsh by its Founder Andrew Pritchard. During his time at Belmarsh he witnessed numerous acts of violence happening among the younger inmates that often resulted in serious injuries among those involved and to the prison officers who were injured as they tried to restore order.

Working with the prison Governor Andrew developed a rehabilitation programme, selecting suitable prisoners to be come ‘Peer Mentors’ and working with a small training organisation to create a bespoke mediation and mentoring course called One Postcode.

With the success generated through the One Postcode initiative and upon Andrews release, he wanted to continue this momentum. The AP Foundation formed and approved for CIO status by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
