    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

    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

    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.

    "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."

    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.

    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.

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