About Opportunity
Volunteers look after children of visitors to the prison visiting rooms. It is important for the volunteers to ensure that the children's visit to a prison is a good experience. It is mainly children aged 2-12 that are looked after in the play area. Training is given and volunteers should have some experience of working with children and have a bit of an understanding on how a child must feel visiting a prison. ****email is better way to contact Ann*******
