Stop the Stigma

Stop The Stigma

When a parent goes to prison, their children also serve a sentence.

Spurgeons help children of prisoners by providing a prison family hub, which supports them through contact, family days, videos of their father reading them a bedtime story, homework clubs and much more. 

See how you can help us to support children of prisoners get the support they need.
