Achievements and perfomiance
Setvices to people in custody through regular visits lo=
Maghabery-the high-security prison housing adult men.
Magilligan
the medium-seGurity facility housing adult men and offering low-securty accommodation
for selected prisoners nearing the end of their sentence.
Hydebank Wood College- houses (a) young people be￿een the ages of 18-21 and (b) Ash House for
female remand and sentenced prisoners.
8,497 visits were conducted to 4,113 individuals, with..
2.170 visits to 1.060 men in Maghaberry,
5,313 visits to 2,656 men in Magilligan,
219 visits to 117 young people in Hydebank Wood College, and
687 visits to 280 women in Ash House.
102 Lifesplan meetings were held in the three prisons, further complemented by a Series of special meetings in
Magilligan during May.
Prisons
In the prisons we see an ever-increasing population. At the end of March 2005. the total population stood at
1,964, representing a 260/0 rise in the total prison population over the last three years. During the same period the
female population has increased by over 650/0 (from 70 to 1171, which means the population also requires careful
management at Hydebank Wood.
Yet despite these increases, PF staff and volunteers continue to reach out to those in prisons. In the past year
more than 8,490 visits were facilitated alongside a range of programmes. We are so grateful for the continued
privilege we are afforded to work in each of the establishments.
During the year we conducted 10 Sycamore Tree courses, 102 Lrfesplan groups {Bible 51udies), and held our
regular fellowship meetings on Friday evenings in Magilligan. We were also able to host three nights of special
meetings in May.
Many requèsts are made of our prison staff and volunteers: "Could you go and see a new reception who is
distraughl as they arrive onto the landing?" or 'Could you chat with an individual who is not communicating with
prison officers?. These may seem like interruptions to our plans or schedule. but they are central to our work.
PF staff also participate in the PREPS Programme {Prisoner Regime and Enhanced Privileges) by
conducting regular sessions with prisoners who have been downgraded from an enhanced lo a basic regine. As
neutral facilitators. we mediate be￿een inmates and prison staff, discussing Ihe issues that led lo their adverse
reports and loss of privileges. These sessions encourage prisoners lo reflect on their actions, explore the
consequences, and commit to positive behavioural changes. By working collaboratively with prison staff, we help
identify ways to support inmates in their rehabilitation. With an average of six participants per W￿k, the
programme has received highly positive feedback from both staff and prisoners. Additionalty. we use these
sessions to connect inmates with other support organisations when needed.

DIRECTORS. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Sycamore Tree
During the year we delivered 10 Sycamore Tree programmes in the three prisons, as well as with the students in
Hydebank Wood College. 119 participants commenced the course. with 111 obtaining qualifications= 17 re￿iVed
Level 1, and 94 obtained a Level 2 Gateway qualification. We deliver this with a team of Ihree trained
facilitators plus a team of 17 volunteers.
Preventing reknoffending by facilitating the PFNI Sycamore Tree restorative justice programme brings prisoners
and victims of crime together within prisons. For many participants, this is the first time they truly reflect on the
impact of their actions - not only on their victims but also on their own families. This realisation can be the first
step toward rebuilding family connections.
As part of the programme, a victim shares their personal story, often creating a profound tuming point for
participants
what some describe as a 'lightbulb moment.. This experience sparks a shifi in thinking that can
ullimately lead to a change in behaviour and a commitment to avoiding future offences.
Aftercare
Through ourAftercare work we support those who are prison leavers. In the past yearwe have been encouraged
as 16-20 men regularly attended over 70 group evenls in the centre. Volunteers led worship and studied the
Bible together. Conversations on the topic are a key part of these meetings, and ofien much wider discussion
takes pla￿.
During the year a local church delivered CAP Lifeskills for 8 weeks. which was a real blessing to all who took
part. 14 other activities, induding Café Hope (now known as The Crew), were also held.
In 2024125 we were blessed to be supported as the Home Mission Project of Presbyterian Women IPW),
allowing us to share at over 120 groups and participale in PW services. We give thanks for these new contacts
and look fotward to building relationships going forward. The project focused primarily on support for female
prisoners. especially those leaving custody. The prayerful and practical support has enabled us to increase the
hours of our Female Aftercare Worker and commence a second Inshlling Hope programme in the centre.
Our Aftercare work is primarily carried out on an individual basis and through group activities and regular events
at Ihe PF Centre in Belfast with the help of supporters. volunteers. and staff.
We provided support to 88 individuals:
468 individuals visits were conducted.
Prison leavers received practical support including assistance with securing accommodation, provision
of transport to attend appointments. provision of fumiture, and advice.
Voices of Hope continued to meet, and choir practices were held on Fridays. There are 8 choir
members, made up of men who are former prisoners and two staff.
CAP- Christians Against Poverty delivered a Lifeskills Gourse to a group of 8 men.
84 people attended Christmas dinners for male and female aftercare, hosted by two local churches.

Family work
Our Family Work brings us into contact with many who are struggling to know how best to support a loved one.
Like any family. Ihey are balancing their own needs, but with the additional challenge of having a loved one in
prison. Thè health of a child, their own personal health, and the struggle to provide finances for the person in
prison while balancing the needs of those at home can be crushing.
Often, while a person is in prison. there is some safety in knowing where they are and that they are relalively
secure. However. a Saturday release. lack of support or suitsble accommodation, and the unavailabiliiy of a
crash facility for the night brings immense pressure on the family. They may have to choose be￿een allowing a
loved one to stay in their home despite problems in the past or letting them stay on the streets for their first night
out of prison.
Throughout the year, a range of setvices were offered to families..
248 family visils were conducted across Northern Ireland in person or virtually. offering ongoing support
to 127 families. During 202K2025 PFNI engaged 53 new families. Through these visits the charity
offers befriending. a listèning ear, and practical advice.
79 families received activity packs ft)r children during both the summer and Easter holidays.
Christmas Hope: our annual food hamper and toy appeal provided 502 hampers and 622 toys.
Volunteering
Volunteers remain al the core of everything we do
programme delivery, Letterlink, food ministry, one-to-one
support, and many other tasks. A small team of volunteers packs the quarterly NewsFocus and prepares it for
mailing. Pradical support in the ofFice with administration and finances. A team of faithful volunleers help5 deliver
our football activities over the summer. A willing band of helpers, packs hampers and toys and delivers them
across the country. Others provide cooked meals for groups running in the centre. Our faithful Board members
a150 meet regularly to oversee the governance and direction of PF.
During the year we had 61 regular volunteers who delivered support to those in custody, their famlies. and
people leaving prison, as well as a further 6D volunteers helping with the Christmas Hopè Project. Other
opportunities for volunteering included aftercare support. Letterlink, and the Hands Up project.
PFNI seeks to encourage the public to be aware of the issues faced by those leaving prison, to prevent re-
offending.
During 2024-2025, the Gharty:
spoke at 117 deputalions to groups throughout Northem Ireland,
supported 10 prayer groups, which meet each month,
distributed 4 editions of News and P￿Yer Focus mailed to 1.296 individuals, while 548 people received
our quarterly electronic mail, as well as monthly prayer updates. We continue to encourage electroni
mail to help reduce costs.
The work of PFNI during the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 could not have been achieved without the
dedication of staff and volunteers, the financial support received from personal donors, churches. ccsmpanies, Nl
Prison Service. and charitable trusts and foundations. and the strategic and operational partnerships with
Statutory colleagues- Nl Prison Service Staff & Management, Probation Board Nl, and voluntary agencies
including Quakèrs, NIACRO, and Christians Against Povety.
