Community chaplaincy projects support over 2,000 people affected by the criminal justice system every year. They may offer mentoring to prisoners on release, provide accommodation, employment or other support, or work with prisoner’s families. They seek to build embracing communities and contribute to a safer, healthier society for all. The Community Chaplaincy Association is the infrastructure organiser for these projects, promoting best practice and representing them nationally at strategic level.

Prisons Week is a week of prayer, supported by all the major Church denominations and the leading Christian organisations in the sector. Prisons Week commences on the second Sunday in October every year.
