FOPP recruits, organises and supports volunteers to help in Peterborough Prison.
We recruit volunteers from as wide a cross-section of the community as possible, and ensure that their individual skills and personalities are put to the best possible use. FOPP employs a paid part-time Volunteer Coordinator who is responsible for the recruitment and day to day management of all our volunteers, and for liaising with the prison on all aspects of our activities.
Many of our volunteers assist in the secure areas of the prison, helping tutors deliver lessons to prisoners in the education departments. Opportunities also exist to help in the prison libraries, assisting with the Storybooks scheme, coaching in the gymnasiums, and getting new mums in the Mother and Baby Unit involved in various activities.
