Volunteers in this role will offer support and a warm welcome to all children who are visiting their parent/family member. Volunteers will interact with the children whilst they are in the Visitors Centre waiting to go for their visit. Once in the prison visits hall when the visit is taking place, the children spend some time with their relative at the table and then come over to the play area where volunteers play with the children to keep them occupied during the visit. With this project our main concern is for the welfare of the child and in particular the need of the child for good quality contact with his or her imprisoned parent or relative. Volunteers can limit their help and support to the Visitor's Centre if they prefer not to enter the prison.
Locations: Visitors’ Centres at HMP Durham, HMP Frankland and HMP&YOI Low Newton in Durham, HMP Kirklevington in Yarm, HMP Holme House in Stockton, HMP & YOI Deerbolt in Barnard Castle and HMP Northumberland near Morpeth.
