Spurgeons

160,000 children each year have a parent in prison. At Spurgeons, our aim is to improve the lives of those children and their families who are affected by a parent being in prison. Our prisoner and family support services across England allow children to visit their loved ones in a friendly environment and our mentoring and support programmes give young people the change to reduce negative behaviours and build a better future.
We work in the heart of communities, delivering a range of high quality, flexible services for those affected by imprisonment and offending. These include; running Prison Visitors’ Centres; mentoring - pre and post release; family days; parenting Programmes in prisons; Family Support Programmes for offenders and their families; through the gate support and family re-integration; community support services for families of offenders; and training for partner organisations.
