Our mission
To show Christ’s love to people in prison by coming alongside them and supporting them.
Prison Fellowship
Will you turn up, too?
Our work is sometimes described as ‘the ministry of turning up’—the simple, powerful act of being present with someone who is struggling— by volunteers who are carefully trained and vetted. We turn up. We care. This, we have learnt, is what changes lives. In prisons across England and Wales, this is exactly what our volunteers do, day in and day out.

In:sight magazine
Our Summer edition of In:sight is now available
In this issue, we explore how unity can bring transformation: from building bridges between the Church inside and outside of prison, to supporting people through our new restoration course, Olive Tree. We also introduce our new Head of Volunteer and Church Engagement and reflect on Channel 5’s documentary about the mega prison in El Salvador, where hope and community are in short supply.

The power of prayer
Our July Devotion
PF is founded on prayer. We send out monthly devotions and prayer diaries which you can access on our website, and also on PrayerMate!
July Devotion
Grief in prison rarely looks like tears
It looks like fists through walls. Silence that lasts for years. Addictions that take hold. Lives derailed.
We believe no life is beyond the reach of God’s healing love—but that love often begins with listening, honesty and presence. Will you help us bring healing into prisons?

Legacy Stories
Alan's legacy of love
Sue chose Prison Fellowship as one of the memorial charities for Alan’s funeral. She explains, ‘It’s fabulous work and there’s so much to do. You just know that donations would be put to the best use. I would encourage anyone thinking about it to do the same.’

Fundraise
Can you help raise money to support PF?
Every sponsored ride or walk, every coffee morning, every church lunch - it is showing Christ's love to those in prison. Do you have a fundraising idea? We would love to know more!
Connect your church
We believe we are answering Jesus’ call to support and love some of the most marginalised people in our society, and that the Church has a central role to play.
