Storytime with William

My name is William and I am 10 years old. Starting on 1st September 2022, for 31 days in a row I am going to read a story on camera. Each story I choose will mean something to me and are my favourite stories from little until now. I will edit and upload each video daily to my YouTube channel.
Challenge Charts

Our Challenge Charts enable Dad/Mum to play an active part in life at home and encourage communication. The child can then tick off which challenges they achieve and gain a reward.
Photo Frames

Our personalised Photo Frame project allows Dad/relative to personalise and decorate a photo frame specifically for their child. We'll even take a photo of Dad to put in the frame before it is posted home.

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.
Story CDs and DVDs

Every year we help over 5,000 prisoners to record bedtime stories for their children. By sending a story disc 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.

"I miss Daddy

when I feel lonely I listen to my CD and hearing his voice makes me feel better."
Sharon's Story
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.
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.

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