Volunteering
Volunteers will normally attend a weekly in-prison group. This will be conversational allowing trust and communication to be established. The group will use a variety of resources depending on the needs of the group but are likely to include discussion of on Biblical issues, video clips, films, personal stories of faith and its effects and generally being open to question - prayer and singing as appropriate.
For those who are interested in the work of PF but would prefer not to go into prison, we are very happy to invite you to join one of our Prison Fellowship prayer groups.
