If you live in Tayside and would be interested in coming along to a small, friendly peer support group for adult family members affected by imprisonment, please contact Lynne on 07572 022995 or [email protected] 😊
Today we attended the PSYCON 2024 at Stirling University, where 4 of our volunteers were giving talks on their experience with us at Forth Valley Inclusion, and we also had our own stall to talk about our organisation and recruit more volunteers!
📢 The 2024 Prison Survey is here! This survey helps give insight into life in Scottish prisons and @scottishprisons want as many responses as possible 📝 Please encourage anyone you are supporting in prison to take part and have their say! 🌟
Are you or someone you care for living with cancer in the Lothian area ? Improving the Cancer Journey is here to help you get Finanical, emotional or practical support you may need. Call 0131 537 1500 Email: [email protected]
Families of those in our care at HMP Dumfries have enjoyed a fun-filled weekend of Easter egg hunts,egg decorating and crafts. Extra bonding sessions have also been provided during the school holidays. Huge thanks to Summerhill Community Centre @AnnemarieCoult2 for their support.
Delighted to be involved with this exciting event! Please spread the word, we want to reach as many families affected by imprisonment as possible 💙

Many families are supporting loved ones who are not in their local prison, often at high financial costs. More support must be provided for families to maintain their relationships with their loved ones in prison. 💙
Please see the updated April 2024 timetable below. 🗓️ If you need any support or someone to chat to please come and see us or get in touch! 💜 ☎️ 07484 664 950 💻 [email protected]

On International ‘Read To Me‘ Day, I took several bags of donated books to HMP, Perth, to help stock their Book Swap initiative. This is for visiting families so that in the waiting area, they can access books for children and adults to enjoy. A great idea! @CrossReach
Introducing neurodiversity boxes at @HMPFeatherstone to ensure a pleasant visit for all! These include ear defenders, fidget toys, and 'Hidden disability' lanyards, supporting neurodiverse individuals. Your comfort matters to us! #PrisonersFamilies #PrisonReform
The first trustee and volunteer meeting of Forth Valley Inclusion at HMP Stirling proved to be very worthwhile and encouraging. The team are excited about the new facilities at the prison, overseen by a new management team @fv_inclusion

Being unable to buy and store a big shop means higher costs and less nutritious food - impacting the family's budget and health. That's why last week, our HMP Addiewell Visitor Centre team found a new freezer for a family in need via the @bbcin Emergency Essentials Fund.

We're delighted to welcome HMP Kilmarnock into the Scottish Prison Service, as its operation officially transferred to us from Serco on 17 March. This is a momentous occasion, as it is the first time a privately operated Scottish prison has transferred to the public sector.
🧵 This month we are working with @scottishprisons and Prison Visitors' Centres to raise awareness of the support available to families when someone is released from prison. 💙
