Every year, we support thousands of people across England and Wales affected by the criminal justice system to make a fresh start.
Prisoners' Sunday
Sunday 12 October is Prisoners' Sunday - the national day of prayer for prisoners and everyone affected by imprisonment. It provides an opportunity to remember not just people who are in prison but also their families and loved-ones.
It's also the time of year when we ask people to consider how they may be able to put their faith into action by supporting our work.

The Prisoners’ Families Helpline can support you if you have a family member who is in contact with the criminal justice system in England and Wales.
Our team is made up of highly trained, skilled staff and volunteers with professional and personal experience of the criminal justice system.
The Helpline website is a valuable source of up-to-date information. You can access videos about prison life and our Safer Custody portal if you have concerns about your loved one's welfare.
Our work keeps families together, creates safer prisons and reduces reoffending.
