    Situation

    Children with a parent in prison are the hidden victims of crime. As well as facing the trauma of separation (95% of children whose mothers are in prison leave their family home) many children with a parent in prison live in greater poverty and face further disadvantages in terms of their education and health. Supporting families and tackling poverty minimises the harm to children who have a parent or key family member in prison,

    Solution

    This project will reach around 70-80 children who have a parent in prison. Our Welfare Fund tackles the poverty faced by children and families whose loved ones are in prison. It provides essential items such as food, clothing and white goods. As well as being of immediate practical help, the welfare fund increases resilence as homes are less stressful for children when there is food and a fridge.
