Standford Hill Prison Family Support Services
At HMP Standford Hill Spurgeons runs family days, parenting courses for prisoners and provide special children's activities on visits such as Homework Clubs. A Spurgeons Family Service Worker (based in the Resettlement Centre) and our partner organisations will be on hand before, during and after your visit to offer advice and support.
Due to Covid-19 some services we usually provide have been suspended but we are finding safe ways to keep the communication going between dads and their families. Please contact the Spurgeons team for more information.
