‘It’s a brilliant scheme and really encourages the children to read. It also makes visiting prison an enjoyable experience for them.‘
Prisons organise family days to help prisoner parents bond with their children and partners. PRG and our parent charity Give a Book support these days with books that families can enjoy on the day and children can take home as a tangible reminder of good time spent together. Where possible we also provide volunteers to encourage parents and children to read together.
We send new books, carefully chosen with the help of children’s bookshops, publishers and specialist volunteers to create an engaging and diverse selection across the age range.
