Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal opens Nacro’s Stoke Education Centre in our 60th anniversary year.
Andrea Coady, Head of Service User Involvement, said: “Access to physical exercise is important for people in prison. While this report highlights that some prisons have shown improvements in this area, it remains the case that too many individuals are missing out.
Enver Solomon, Nacro’s Chief Executive, reflects on his first weeks in post visiting our education, housing, health and justice services across the country.
Today, Nacro responds to the Ministry of Justice’s announcement it will expand electronic tagging in England and Wales, as tens of thousands of people will be released from prison wearing real-time tracking tags in the largest expansion of electronic tagging in British history.
Today marks exactly 60 years since Nacro was founded. For six decades, we’ve been helping people build brighter futures – supporting hundreds of thousands of people to overcome barriers, rebuild their lives and take the next step forward.Â
We’re delighted to today welcome Enver Solomon as Nacro’s new Chief Executive.Â

Nacro was by Maria’s side in her moment of need. The Nacro team at Women in Safe Homes (WISH) Greater Manchester, a partnership between Nacro and Women’s Aid, provided tailored, trauma-informed support to meet Maria where she was at. Maria now has a safe and stable place to live and a brighter future.
Nacro responds to news that prison documents show the Government’s plan to tackle the IPP scandal do not go far enough, and will leave at least 500 prisoners languishing without release by 2030 – 18 years after the abolition of IPP sentences.
Nacro responds to the Government’s plan to provide every young person carrying a knife with tailored support (11.02.2026). This is a positive move towards a youth justice system focussed on care and prevention.
