Support Families, Transform Lives
At POPS, we’re dedicated to helping families who have a loved one in the criminal justice system. Our work provides vital support, guidance, and resources to families at one of the most challenging times in their lives. With your generous donation, we can continue to offer this lifeline to those who need it most.
“Don’t know how we would have survived without you this first couple of months. Words aren’t enough to express how I feel about the difference you make to family and friends of prisoners.”

Why Donate?
Every day, families face unique challenges when a loved one is involved with the criminal justice system. Many experience isolation, fear, emotional strain as well as financial and practical difficulties. POPS is here to provide them with the support they need to cope, stay strong, and rebuild. Your donation helps us:
- Provide Emotional and Practical Support: Offering advice, resources, and a compassionate ear for families facing difficult circumstances.
- Host Family Forums: Creating safe spaces where families can share experiences and gain confidence in navigating the criminal justice system.
- Advocate for Families: Raising awareness of the challenges faced by families, and ensuring their voices are heard at local and national levels.
- Tackle Stigma and Raise Awareness: Delivering targeted training to help professionals who work with families in all contexts better understand and support those affected by the criminal justice system.
