Our Work

In this section

Prison Fellowship works through its volunteers to support people in prison in a number of ways. Find out in these pages how we are standing alongside people in prison across England and Wales and how you can be part of this.

The opportunities available vary between prisons. If you’re interested in finding a particular programme close to you, check our Regional Map, or contact the Support Team on 020 7799 2500.

Our programmes

Write letters
Letter Link

Provides hope and care through matching a prisoner with a PF volunteer who in turn writes letters that, in some instances, provide the only communication a prisoner receives.
Christmas giving
Angel Tree Christmas

Volunteers enable parents in prison to send a gift to their children at Christmas, strengthening the parent-child relationship, and lessening the heartache often experienced.
Restorative justice
Sycamore Tree

A restorative justice course delivered to people in prison by trained Volunteers. Learners explore the impact of their crime.

Faithful presence
Chaplaincy Support

Our volunteers provide much-needed and wide-ranging support to busy prison chaplaincies, from running programmes to helping with a service.
Prayerful support
Prayer Line

Prayer Line allows anyone in prison to leave a message with their personal prayer request. On the same day and over the coming weeks, PF volunteers pray for them.
Building relationships
Angel Tree Mother's Day

Angel Tree Mother's Day enables young people in prison to have a gift sent on their behalf, containing their own message, to their mother or other significant adult, on Mother's Day.
Studying God's Word
Bible Studies

Weekly Bible Studies, written by a small team of Volunteers, which are distributed to prisons across England and Wales.

Bereavement support
Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Care ministry supports the chaplaincy teams in their care for people in prison who are experiencing loss or bereavement.
