Prison Reading Groups

We work closely with Prison Reading Groups, a charity that helps to start, fund and support reading groups in prisons, to donate books to reading groups in over 40 prisons nationwide.

Participants in reading groups share their thoughts and responses to the books when they meet each month, before choosing their next read.

'When I read a book it gives me the chance to escape into another world. I love the group because it’s great to share that world with other people.'

We also donate books to support family days, to help prisoner parents bond with their children and partners.
