About Pillars

A charity for children of prisoners : break the cycle of Crime The programme run by the children's charity Pillars is designed to support children and families of prisoners. Our aim is to assist these children in getting the support services needed to help prevent inter generational offending and imprisonment. Children of prisoners need hope and guidance to grow up to be healthy adults. They need a safe place to live, care and protection during their parent's absence, comfort and affection, food and access to healthcare, an education, their public status and private self-image preserved and an opportunity to reach their full potential. We offer social work support as well as mentoring for children aged 5-17 who are effected by a loved ones imprisonment. If you or someone you know would like to become a volunteer mentor please be in touch.
