Disruption caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Access to the prison for our volunteers and staff was suspended on 20th March 2020 and we are only now (May 2022) able to start making arrangements for their return. (See also our Coronavirus and FOPP page). Our Volunteer Coordinator continues to work partly from home, so this means we do not always have access to the usual resources, many of which are hosted on the prison’s secure computer network.
Throughout much of 2020 and 2021 we were unable to progress new applications in the usual way. Since the beginning of 2022 we have once again been processing applications from those who have expressed an interest in becoming volunteers with us,
