On Sunday 15 October we will hold a special service at 10.30 am to mark Prisons Week.

Prisons Week encourages communities to pray for, and raise awareness of, the needs of all those connected with prisons; prisoners and their families, many of whom come from disadvantaged and debilitating backgrounds, together with victims of offenders, prison staff, contractors, chaplains, and volunteers who work in an intense and often difficult atmosphere. Prisons Week has been running for almost 50 years.

The service will include prayers for prisoners, victims, and staff. 12 serving prisoners from HMP Hollesley Bay will join us for the service. This year, the address will be given by Anglican chaplain at HMP Highpoint ,The Reverend Mark Osborne. In the Cathedral Centre after the service, there will be an opportunity for discussion and reflection with refreshments provided.
