Story

Did you know there are approximately 192, 912 children affected by imprisonment in the UK right now?

The average round-trip for a family visiting their father in prison is 100 miles. The journey is long, costly, and emotionally draining—but staying connected is vital. Maintaining family ties has been shown to reduce reoffending by 39%, giving children the stability they need and offering hope for a better future.

Our prison family hubs support families through contact, special family days, videos of their father reading them a bedtime story, homework clubs, counselling and much more. Your efforts will help support key initiatives that help maintain family connections.

How your support can help:

£10 could go towards pencil cases and stationary sets for children attending homework club.

£20 could help us to arrange a recorded bedtime story from a dad to their child.

£56 would pay for a Spurgeons counselling session for a child affected by imprisonment.
