Wow, what a day! Prisoners took part in a steel pan drums workshop by @SteelPanTrust to enhance their teamwork and concentration skills, which helps reduce reoffending.

Staff also joined in, which was a great way to celebrate the last day of #BlackHistoryMonth.

[HMPHuntercombe @HMPHuntercombe]

We recently welcomed over 15 local businesses to our first-ever employment event. The companies spoke in depth to our prisoners about the job opportunities available to them on release. By helping prisoners into work, we can reduce reoffending and help keep the public safe.

The great @HMPHuntercombe Gym rowing event took place this week. The aim was for a group of prisoners & staff to row the length of the River Thames 346 kms to raise money for a local charity @HeadwayThamesV. A massive £959 was raised & the target was smashed with 821 kms rowed!💪

[HMPHuntercombe @HMPHuntercombe]

An enormous shout out to @FulhamReachBC who helped make our charity challenge possible, with special thanks to Imogen and Mark.
