In the charity's own words
Ark Resettlement Services is a charity dedicated to reducing reoffending across London. ARK supports and houses ex-offenders on release from prison when they are at risk of homelessness. We focus on individuals who are marginalised, most excluded from other services and who need support to meet their basic human needs, and stability to address their offending and/or substance use.
