Change is more likely to happen in a supportive culture. That’s why we work with people across the whole system. In a prison setting, our approach is holistic, so we work with health services, prison officers, management, catering and procurement staff as well as individuals serving sentences. Within government departments, we work with those responsible for policies and practice.

We produce a monthly newsletter focussed on mental health and wellbeing. The newsletter is sent to all female prisons in England and Wales, with the potential to reach 3308 women and the aim of helping to support their physical and mental health.

Coming Soon! We have piloted a similar His Wellbeing’ aimed at the men’s estate. Contact us if your prison is interested in receiving this.

This programme supports prisoners’ mental health and wellbeing through food-related in-cell activities. It is for anyone serving a custodial sentence. It is a positive option for the more hard-to-reach individuals who would not normally engage with education services.
The programme is fun, engaging and participatory. It comprises six modules, with a module being sent out once a month. Each module is formed of a 4-page learning leaflet and a 4-page activities leaflet. There are prizes!
Participating prisoners have the chance to be part of the Feel Good Food Club community, by submitting no-cook recipes and food tips, which appear in a special members’ section of our monthly newsletter Her Wellbeing.
The club can form an integral part of a prison’s health and wellbeing strategy and can help meet requirements set by HM Inspector of prisons.
