Would you like to volunteer with Prison Reading Groups?
Volunteers help bring our projects to life; whether it’s leading a reading group, helping families choose a book to read together or creating book resources. Prison Reading Groups wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our volunteers.
There is more than one way to volunteer with PRG:
Run a reading group: If you love reading and talking about books, you could co-run a group with a prison librarian or member of staff. We offer training and provide ongoing support.
Family Days: We support Family Days in prison by sending in books for each child to read with their parent and take home as a reminder of the day. Our volunteers help families choose a title and encourage them to share the story together.
Remote volunteering: Volunteers can create resources: Book Talk and Book Stuff – to encourage reading for pleasure in prison.
August 2025 – at present we don’t have any in-person prison roles, but this may change and our website will be updated to reflect this.
