POPS is a user-led charity supporting families through their contact with the criminal justice system as a result of a loved one’s conviction. POPS focuses on strengthening relationships within families and between families and their communities. We aim to help individuals overcome stigma, understand their identity, build self-confidence/skills and contribute to a more cohesive society.
We achieve this through a range of prison-based and community focused support services including: Family Support Services delivered at 11 prisons across the North-West/Yorkshire; ‘Through the Gate’ support for prisoners and their families; community-based support for women through POPS’ Women’s Centre (Oldham); community-based interventions for prisoners from BAME backgrounds; training for professionals; restorative practice programmes and community-based support for families attached to the CRC’s Intensive Community Order (generating £6.52 of economic/social value for every £1 spent).

Sing Inside takes day long singing workshops into prisons around the country, working with groups of student volunteers and creating a larger choir with participants from within the prisons we visit. We teach a series of songs by ear to everyone at the same time, avoiding distancing prison volunteers from external volunteers, and everyone performs together at a short concert in the afternoon. our workshops aim to encourage self-confidence and self-worth, and a belief in the positive impact prison residents can have on group activities, by allowing them a liberating creative and social space in which to work towards a goal. Sing Inside utilises the power of group singing to draw together a community quickly, improving relationships between residents and external volunteers, as well as including prison staff. Our workshops encourage faith in supportive external communities and hope for positive contribution to group activities upon release through group singing.
