Happy #InternationalDayOfYoga!

Yoga and meditation can have huge mental and physical benefits and be practiced in relatively small spaces.

This is why we can send yoga materials to people we are supporting around the world, and include a yoga flow in our overseas newsletter.

Something as simple as a free post envelope can do so much to alleviate isolation during a prison sentence - particularly when friends and family are thousands of miles away and unable to visit.

Last year, 37% of the family members we supported were parents of someone in prison.

They carry a huge burden and it is why our family support is so vital to so many.

Today is #WorldHungerDay.

Last year, more British people in prison and their family members needed our support than ever before.

There was particular need for our survival grants, which help people to purchase food and clean water that they would not otherwise have access to.

We have several mindfulness resources (produced by Recoop) available to help guide people through this difficult period.
