Volunteering at a POPS Visitor Centre

Working within the visiting area you will be part of a team who will make a daily difference to the experience of families visiting a relative at HMYOI Lancaster Farms. Volunteers at POPS Visitor Centres are involved across a range of activities including serving refreshments, providing play activities for children and providing support and assistance to visitors. We also involve volunteers in Family Days and Family Forums.

Through your experience you will gain a much greater understanding of the prison regime and the effects of prison visiting on families as well as gaining invaluable experience of working in a team environment.
