Only Connect
Only Connect has one vision but many missions. The group vision is:
“We see prisoners, ex-offenders and young people at risk of crime becoming assets, not liabilities for London: using their talents to help both themselves and the community. Instead of costing society – financially and emotionally – by committing crime, they create social value through their participation in positive projects and activities.

Only Connect is a group of crime prevention programmes working across the capital, including:
'Only Connect', the King’s Cross private members’ club for prisoners, ex-offenders and youth at risk
OC Impact - the crime prevention project for London schools and youth centres
OC Create - the arts company producing work inspired and performed by ex-offenders and youth at risk
My Gen - the youth and ex-offender project in north Kensington.
