Our story

Storybook Dads is a multi-award winning charity, well-known and respected in the prison estate...but back in 2002 it was a very different story! Click here to find out more about our humble beginnings.
Where we work

We work in approximately 100 UK prisons, including women’s prisons, young offender institutes and secure hospitals.
Audio and Video Stories

Every year we help over 5,000 prisoners to record bedtime stories for their children. By sending a story to their children, parents can bring comfort to their children and share the joy of storytelling from behind bars. Our friendly team are there to help less confident readers and the editing process means that even non-readers can take part.
Storybook Dads Main Appeal

Storybook Dads relies entirely upon charitable contributions. We don’t receive any statutory funding or funding from HM Prison Service. Every donation really does help us to continue offering our service.

Training/Work Experience

Recordings from prisons all over the UK are sent to our headquarters and main production centre at HMP Dartmoor in Devon. Our eight prisoner editors are trained to use industry standard audio / video software to make the stories into extra special gifts for the children.
