Our impact

"My biggest fear was that when I got out my children wouldn’t know me. Storybook Dads changed that - it meant I could read them a story and in a small way could still be there at bedtime." Read more

  • Liz Stuart London Marathon

    Storybook Dads help parents in prison to record bedtime stories and messages for their children on CD or DVD. I'm using my Good For Age place in the 2020 Virgin London Marathon to raise money for this hugely effective service.

    "I think Storybook Dads staff probably see the best side of prisoners as most Dads love and miss their children very much."

  • Story CDs and DVDs

    By sending a story disc to their children, parents can bring comfort to their children and share the joy of storytelling from behind bars. Parents in prison record a bedtime story and message for their child on CD or DVD. Our friendly team are there to help less confident readers and the editing process means that even non-readers can take part.

  • Training/Work Experience

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

  • Annual reviews

    Read about the impact of our work in our Annual Reviews.

  • Workshops

    We help prisoners to make other educational and fun gifts such as memory books, calendars, challenge charts and pop-up books. A lot of work and creativity goes into these activities and the children love their personalised gifts. Some of these activities are ideal for older children.
