Our vision is that every prisoner has access to support and prayer.
Our mission is to show Christ’s love to prisoners by coming alongside them and supporting them.
We seek through prayer and practical care to help, support and develop a Christian ministry to prisoners and their families. We do this through our network of volunteer members, and currently have 1,700+ members across England and Wales.

Prayer is the basis for all that we do, and where it all started.
Prison Fellowship Prayer Groups meet regularly to pray for prisons, prisoners, their families and prison staff.
We have nearly 120 prayer groups across England and Wales.
