Helping children have a better Christmas
We provided £700 to enable Dads in Parc Prison to make a Christmas parcel full of goodies to send home to their children to open on Christmas day
The pack for each child contains a wooden bauble, a small wooden Christmas figure, a photo frame to decorate and many other items to enable the children to make, colour and decorate various festive treats. Due to current restrictions many of the fathers may not have seen their children since March so also included is a personalised message on DVD to cheer their kids at Christmas.
Hayley Morris, Family Interventions Manager at Parc Prison, has been recognised as driving a wide range of initiatives to support prisoner familiy relationships, leading to Parc becomming the first prison to achieve "Investors in Families" accreditation. Hayley joined one of our evening Zoom meetings and thanked Rotary Bridgend for our continued support.
