Support for prison visitors

We offer safe and welcoming places for families to relax before and after prison visits.

Our aim is to help maintain contact between prisoners and their families. The impact that prison can have on children is often overlooked, but at CrossReach we care about the wellbeing of every member of the family.

At Perth and Polmont prisons, we have opened innovative support centres that offer practical and emotional support, advice for adults and play areas for children. And plenty of free refreshments for you all.

Here’s where to find us:

What can we help you with?

"School makes me feel happy, even though I am a bit scared of some of the noise."

Child in school
"I feel at ease knowing my son is well cared for and looked after."

Parent of child in school
"I am very happy here. I am worry free."

Child living in residential care
"The service is absolutely brilliant. My child cannot take part in a lot of group activities but she is always made to feel part of everything and activities are aimed at what she can do. The staff and management are fantastic and we would be lost without them."
