About us

People are not defined by their past.

Rainfall Foundation is a rehabilitation and prevention charity supporting people leaving prison and those at risk of offending to build stable, positive futures.

Our vision

A world in which people are not defined by their past, and where those at risk of offending and those leaving prison have the opportunity to thrive.

We want to see safer, stronger communities where people are supported to move beyond crisis, contribute meaningfully and live with dignity.

Why Rainfall exists

People do not rebuild their lives through systems alone. They rebuild through trust, support and opportunity.

Rainfall was not created because support does not exist. It was created because people need someone to bring that support together.

We provide the consistent relationship, personalised plan and coordinated pathway that can otherwise be missing during a critical period of change.

Our values

Human

Listen without judgement and build support around the individual.

Authentic

Act with honesty, transparency and integrity.

Committed

Provide consistent support and clear accountability.

Pioneering

Challenge fragmented working through collaboration, evidence and learning.
