<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><strong>Approximately 160,000 children in the UK have either one or both parents in prison.</strong></p> <p><strong>On Tuesday 20th September a group of us will be cycling from Liverpool to Preston via Southport. Please would you sponsor us in raising money for Angel Tree and help connect parents and children together at Christmas.</strong></p> <p>"Angel Tree provides Christmas presents for prisoners&rsquo; children. Local Prison Fellowship volunteer groups raise funds and work with churches and prison chaplains to buy and deliver the presents. Prisoners with children are given the opportunity to apply for a gift to be sent to them.</p> <p>"The immediate effect is the delight of the child who receives the Christmas present. Angel Tree is a wonderful link between a child and their Mum or Dad in prison and helps towards family reconciliation. Angel Tree also raises awareness amongst the community of the impact of imprisonment on prisoners&rsquo; families."</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
