EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT – 21st February 2021.
Disruption caused by the Coronavirus Outbreak.
Access to the prison for our volunteers and staff has been suspended since 20th March 2020 and we are still unable to say when this will end. Our Volunteer Coordinator continues to work part time from home, but this means we do not have access to the usual resources, many of which are hosted on the prison’s secure computer network.
We will still be pleased to log and acknowledge any new volunteer applications, but will be unable to progress them in the usual way during the current emergency. We hope you will bear with us and that you will still be interested in joining us once the crisis has passed.
Details of how to get in touch during the current coronavirus emergency can be found on our Contact Us page.
