The article deals with the problem of re-socialization of ex-convicts in the UK and describes the ways of solving this problem. Particular attention is paid to the activities of non-profit organizations in the UK, which currently address the most common issues that appear during resocialization related to the lack of housing, employment opportunities for a person released from prison, as well as the loss of social ties necessary for successful resocialization. During the research we used the following scientific methods: study of the material on the given topic, analysis of the activities of non-profit organizations, as well as other methods of scientific knowledge. As a result of the study we came to the conclusion that most of the re-socialization work nowadays is done not by state structures, but by specialized non-profit organizations. However, in order for this assistance to be effective and contribute to the reduction of recidivism, it is necessary to create a strong system of interaction between public authorities of different levels and public organizations.
