To help veterans in custody maximise employability and prepare for a positive, independent life after release, our charity has partnered with the @PrisonRadioUK and recently awarded a £10,000 grant towards its Supporting Veterans Behind Bars project.

The charity runs National Prison Radio, a 24‑hour station that is broadcast directly into prison cells across England and Wales, providing information, positive role models and pathways to services.

“Winning an ARIA showed everyone that we can build life after prison. It showed that creative writing is a powerful tool, radio is a powerful tool and using our stories to tell the world the realities of prison is a powerful move” ✊

@bbc5live 🤝 NPR

Great to welcome Lindsay & Izzy into our studio to work with our prisoner-producers at HMP Styal.

Sessions like this help our producers build a broader mix of skills that can open doors in radio and podcasting when they leave prison.

@Catch22 By broadcasting these voices and stories on NPR, we can offer hope, encouragement and a sense of what’s possible beyond the gate to those still inside.

We spent the day recording for National Prison Radio, speaking to young people about the reality of leaving custody, the support they’ve received, and the steps they’re taking to move forward 🚀

Everyone’s talking about our patron Louis #Theroux and the #manosphere.

96% of people in prison in England & Wales are men. In a largely male world cut off from the outside extreme ideas about masculinity can take hold.

Through NPR we create space for healthier conversations 💬

[Prison Radio Association @PrisonRadioUK]

🏠 Rough sleeping after #prison increases reoffending - up to 72.7% return to custody within a year.

On this week's episode of Money Mondays we chat with Andy and Jay from Foundation 2 Change about avoiding #homelessness and emergency support

#MothersDay #WomenInPrison #HMP

[Prison Radio Association @PrisonRadioUK]

An estimated 17,000 children in England and Wales are affected by maternal imprisonment every year, and around 55% of women in prison in the UK are Mums.

Through conversations like these, we aim to provide support, connection, solidarity and a sense of community.

[Prison Radio Association @PrisonRadioUK]

For mums inside prison, for children outside, and for families navigating the space in between.

For mums and children affected by the criminal justice system, today may feel especially heavy. We hope our radio shows and podcasts can offer moments of comfort, calm, and peace 🕊️

[Bear in Recovery @bearinrecovery]

Great to see so many friends who have supported & encouraged me in recovery at the #ngsn event in London today. Chuffed to see Steve & Ben from @HoldorFoldpod @PrisonRadioUK in the flesh after lots of virtual meetings and hear of all the great work they do @Betknowmore @AidPeer
