you can't store it until then please contact Cheryl on

OFFICIAL PRISON VISITORS
Prison Visitors are volunteers who visit prisoners in
Her Majesty’s prisons. The demand for this valuable
work is considerable and the need for visitors is
steadily increasing.
One of the Prison Service’s stated aims is to aid in
the rehabilitation of prisoners. Reducing a person’s
likelihood of offending on release requires a wide va-
riety of measures and mechanisms. Prison Visitors
play a crucial part in supporting prisoners and helping
them to maintain a positive contact with normality and
the world beyond the fence.
At present we have a dedicated and highly motivated
group of people from all backgrounds and all ages;
some of faith, some not. What they share is a desire
to make a difference. At HMP Littlehey in Perry there
is a waiting list of prisoners who would like to have
visits from a Prison Visitor. We offer training and sup-
port to equip new Visitors to work in the prison envi-
ronment.

with no strings attached please contact Rev, David
