Volunteering opportunities

Any vacancies will be displayed below, so please keep an eye on this page for future opportunities if you are interested in making a difference to our work and supporting people affected by overseas imprisonment.

From time to time we need to recruit new trustees. This is done via an open recruitment process - and vacancies would be displayed here. 

Learn more about internships and student placements here.

Please note: We currently have too many books! Thanks to our wonderful supporters, we have received a fantastic amount of reading materials to send to overseas prisoners. However, we don't currently have the capacity to store any more, so we are kindly asking that supporters hold off on donating books for the time being. If you would still like to support our work sending wellbeing, language and reading materials to overseas prisoners, you can always donate towards our postage costs here. Thank you!
