HMYOI Hindley

Please visit POPS’ Facebook page for HMYOI Hindley for all the latest information and updates.


The POPS’ Visitor Centre at HMYOI Hindley is small but perfectly formed and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Support is available to families from POPS’ staff in the visitor centre who have strong working relationships with other local organisations including Barnardo’s, Gingerbread and APVU.

Themed family days take place throughout the year. We also have activities for pensioners in the local community inviting them to Christmas lunch and Jubilee parties and a newly introduced family forum.

HMYOI Hindley is a Young Offenders and Adult Male Category C establishment.
