Partners of Prisoners

POPS, established by offenders’ families for offenders’ families. Identifying needs and finding the solutions: being the solution.

Since 1988 POPS have been influential in raising the profile of offenders’ families, developing pioneering support services and campaigning throughout the Criminal Justice System to ensure that offenders’ families are recognised and supported at all stages.

We believe in services developed and delivered by families, for families, to tackle the stigma, distress and practical issues that arise when supporting a relative in the Criminal Justice System. We recognise and celebrate the diversity of our service users and utilise their knowledge and experience to ensure equality in all that we do.
