We have started a project gathering clothing for prisoners who do not have any outside support. If you live close by and can drop of any donations of good quality adult clothing, please make use of the donation bag at the gate. Thank you!

🙌Huge thanks to Julie from Keepmoat Homes and to Jimmy, Gary & John from Sterling Plastering for inspiring our prisoners with your insight & belief in second chances.

Employment is vital in reducing reoffending, giving prisoners purpose & stability to reintegrate into society.

Did you know @hwymott we have 26 @samaritans Listeners?

It's a peer-support scheme where prisoners volunteer & are trained by the Samaritans to support other prisoners with wellbeing when they most need it, while also gaining valuable life skills. #WorldMentalHealthDay 🟢

As part of our Family and Significant Others strategy, we are offering reward chats so a family member in prison can be more involved in home life. These are available from our Family Development Worker in the visits hall.

Our prisoners have been able to showcase their recently acquired skills, learnt in one of our workshops, by crafting these bird, bat & hedgehog boxes for a local community project. This work has taught both technical & life skills while giving back to society. Well done everyone!

Last week we held the @HWymott 'Ways into Work' event to show local businesses and partners how the pathways we offer here lead to our men gaining valuable skills for sustainable employment on release.
