We are pleased to share some good news!
Thank you to those who have supported us over the past few years and we look forward to continued growth in 2021.
‘We hid our emotions.’ ‘We had a secret.’Too many children with a parent in #prison feel this way. This is why 1-1 support is important, work through their feelings & emotions, as well as opportunities to meet others who share similar thoughts & know they’re not alone #itwasntme
What chance? Released last night from remand with no notice. At 8pm. With no accommodation. And no phone. No clothes other than what he stood up in. No discharge grant because he was on remand so only the £23 he had in him when he went into prison. #setuptofail we hope not.
Trainee who was put in a B&B following AP stay is now being evicted. We need some stable accommodation in Leamington Spa for him. Twitter folk, can any of you help please?
My longest serving IPP client received his parole decision letter yesterday. 4 years after his current parole review began, 16 years after he was first remanded in custody and 14 years after his minimum term of less than 2 years expired, he is finally being released from prison.
Instead of making offenders wear high viz jackets in chain gangs, how about helping them get a real job instead? In my shops we employ lots of ex offenders and they wear a shirt and tie. Same people, different approach, a much better outcome.
THREAD: A new report commissioned by Pact has found that 75% of prisoners’ families want more support, including meeting other people in similar situations and accessing professional advice and guidance. Read the full story ⬇️ https://t.co/gaveImPH0S @pollywr32527580 (1/4)
When I tell my daughter that someone incarcerated might need a place to stay & her response is they could stay here we have room. It’s a proud mom moment that she unlike so much of the world isn’t judging someone on their past & instead just wants to help someone in need.
Are you looking after a little person who has a parent in #prison ? Sometimes their feelings and emotions can feel topsy turvy. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at Children Heard and Seen for support for them and you ❤️ *Thank you to our incredible model 💕
I keep seeing posts about families going hungry... Let's not forget single people especially young males who will be surviving on £74 per week shortly. Off to work at my local food bank. They struggle the most to ask for help when they have the least. 💔
Privileged and blessed to have been at our project in Darlington yesterday. So impressed with the team and also those benefitting from the residence. Working together for a better future. @renovareuk
Twitter I need your help. Ive been speaking to a young man going back to #leicester post release. He wanted to relocate but can’t & he needs a positive mentor that can help him move away from gang crime life... do you know any organisations in Leicester that can help? 🙏 plse RT

Population still 5,000 down on last year but may be going back up
