The New Bridge Foundation is a charity that works with people in prisons across England and Wales by connecting them with trained volunteers who act as befrienders. Volunteers engage through a combination of letter-writing and prison visits to provide a non-judgmental social connection during periods of isolation. This relationship enables prisoners to discuss emotions, hopes, and reflections about themselves and their past, while also addressing more everyday topics, with the aim of rebuilding trust and self-expression.

The organization is based in London and operates as a mid-sized non-profit dedicated to prison-based befriending. In September 2022, it appointed Michael Spurr, former chief executive of HM Prison and Probation Service, as President, a leadership development noted in its recent communications. The foundation maintains a website that includes a volunteer sign-up page for those interested in joining the program.
