Prisoners’ Education Trust is the UK’s leading prison education charity. Since 1989 we have given more than 40,000 awards to people in prison – equipping them with skills and qualifications to build brighter futures.
Initially working in just HMP Wandsworth, we now fund courses in every prison in England and Wales. We have a team of over 20 staff members, supported by volunteers, trustees and patrons, as well as our alumni.
For 30 years we've been at the forefront of education in prisons
