Last night the @salvationarmyuk and our Askham Grange choir put on a spectacular performance for both prisoners and staff! 🎄

The event was a success bringing together staff and prisoners, helping to create a safe and rehabilitative environment and promote wellbeing.

[HMP Askham Grange @HMPAskham]

Our Families and Significant Others Team hosted an event for stakeholders involved in helping prisoners and their families strengthen and maintain ties - vital for rehabilitation. Everyone in attendance made a pledge of how they'll work closer with their local prison!

What fabulous feedback we received from @GALOPUK!

We held a fundraising event for prisoners & staff to take part in, including sporting activities. Alongside raising money for charity, the event helped build team working, resilience & leadership skills for life upon release.
