What’s all this about, then?
Hello. Good to have you here. This is the part where we fist bump you (virtually), tell you how powerful your support is—and yes, ask for a few quid to launch something that actually matters.
Rebuild Magazine is a bold new publication for ex-offenders who refuse to be defined by their past.
Not a sob story. Not another brochure of broken promises.
This is raw, real, and resilient.
It’s a survival manual dressed like a lifestyle mag.
Created for people coming out the other side of prison, probation, addiction, or chaos—by people who get it (and one who didn’t live it, but listened hard enough to do something real with it).
We’re not here to advise from the sidelines. We’re building a brotherhood, a tribe, a proper tool-kit for anyone navigating a world that’s stacked against them from the jump.
What’s inside?
Rebuild is packed with:
Transformation stories (from cell to CEO)
No-BS legal tips (how to handle DBS, employment, and housing blocks)
Biker culture and brotherhood features
Mental health and healing without the fluff
Entrepreneurial know-how and side-hustle blueprints
Oh, and we’ve got style too—custom bike builds, travel guides, gear drops, and grit-powered freedom.
It’s part zine, part roadmap, part revolution.
Why we need your help
Issue 01 is ready to go. But to print it, distribute it, and put it straight into the hands of the people who need it most—we need your support.
We're raising funds to:
Print and distribute our first issue
Pay our contributors (many with lived experience)
Launch our digital platform
Keep Rebuild free for those who can’t afford it—but need it most
This is a grassroots movement. No government funding. No corporate fluff. Just a mission backed by real people who believe in transformation on your terms.
If we can raise enough to print Issue 01, we plan to grow into a self-sustaining magazine—powered by subscriptions, partnerships, and community support.
Who’s behind this?
Rebuild Magazine is led by creative lived-experience contributors—with me (hello!) Belinda Sharland pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I’m not an ex-offender—but I’ve spent the last few years listening deeply to those who are, I married one once. This magazine exists because they shared their stories, frustrations, and fire. I built the platform. They bring the soul.
Together, we’re flipping the script.
Why it matters
This isn’t about second chances.
It’s about taking your life back.
And if that’s something you can get behind—then let’s go.
Rebuild is more than a magazine.
It’s proof that power can come from the margins.
