The Importance of your gift

It is estimated that over 300,000 children are affected by parental imprisonment in the UK every year. Storybook Dads (and Mums) operates in approx. 100 prisons across the UK enabling imprisoned parents to read a bedtime story for their child. We use software to remove mistakes and background noises, then add music and sound effects to enhance the stories, or if a story on video, we add illustrations from the book.

       

"Our son get regular stories. The stories have really helped us feel connected when we were apart. Thank you so much!"

The story brings the child comfort as they can hear or see their parent whenever they need to. It shows them they are loved and missed as well as helping them to develop an interest in books and reading.This increases their chances of succeeding at school and significantly improving their social and learning outcomes. 

Enabling an imprisoned parent to maintain contact improves their self-esteem and reduces the likelihood of re-offending as well helping with their child’s well-being.
