@PFenglandwales Happy Christmas to Catherine and the team. Christmas in prison is that little bit more bearable because of the work that Prison Fellowship does across England and Wales. Thank you.

@SarahJonestoo Giving thanks for you and your ministry today Sarah. You are the most amazing gift to the Church (even if it hasn't always been very good at receiving it). Fond memories of your Ordination, sending love on this special anniversary x

Fantastic news! Well done Nirmal!

Huge congratulations to our Sikh Chaplain, Nirmal Singh, who has been awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours for services to community development and interfaith integration. A very well-deserved award. Well done, Nirmal.

@RevRachelMann @canterburypress Excellent idea - duly ordered!

[HMP&YOI Swinfen Hall @HMPSwinfenHall]

Our Chaplaincy team facilitated our first victim awareness course with Sycamore Tree to teach the principles of restorative justice to aid rehabilitation.
We're the 56th prison to run this accredited programme nationally.
Thanks to @PFenglandwales & our dedicated volunteers.
