'Nepacs is a north east charity which aims to promote a positive future for prisoners, offenders and their relatives by supporting family ties at every stage of the criminal justice system.\nWe are there to support people when a loved one is sent to custody in those anxious early days when visiting prison remains a mysterious and daunting prospect. Much of our work is delivered by volunteers, who bring energy, warmth and friendship, and offer reassurance in the most challenging of circumstances.\nWe are also concerned about the damaging impact of a prison sentence on the families of prisoners themselves and seek to limit this through informal support and signposting for help with finance, childcare and health issues. After all, the families haven\'t committed the crime, but they, especially the children, are greatly affected by the punishment.\n\n•\tThere are lots of ways to support Nepacs and prisoner\'s families in the North East by volunteering. \n•\tNepacs was started by volunteers more than 135 years ago and today volunteers are still at the very heart of everything we do. Our team of dedicated volunteers are helping to support prisoner\'s families and friends, and are also helping to promote the important role of family ties in assisting an offender\'s rehabilitation.\n•\tThere are a wide variety of opportunities available to suit a diverse range of skills and interests. We have volunteering opportunities available Monday to Sunday from 8am to 9pm \n',

'General overview of role: \n\nFamily prison visits volunteers will be based in the Visitor Centre. The visitors’ centres exist to meet the needs of adults and children visiting relatives or friends in prison. They aim to offer, "a safe, pleasant environment where all visitors are met with dignity and respect, provided with the facilities they need and offered information, support and the opportunity to discuss the difficulties they may face in confidence” (Prison Service Guidelines, 1996). This statement sums up the basic principles underlying the Nepacs visitors’ centres.\n\nVolunteers in this role will offer a warm welcome to all visitors arriving for a domestic visit and register all visitors who arrive. They will also provide refreshments and offer emotional support and information to the families who are waiting for a visit. \n',

'What does NEPACS do?\nNEPACS is all about supporting a positive future for prisoners and their families. We strongly believe that investment must be made in resettlement and rehabilitation to ensure that there are fewer crime victims in the future, and less prospect of family life being disrupted and possibly destroyed by a prison sentence.\n\nAs a charity with a strong regional base including over 200 volunteers from all walks of life, we are determined to play our part in promoting family ties and facilitate resettlement. Ministry of Justice figures tell us that prisoners are 39% less likely to reoffend if they have had visits throughout their prison sentence. That\'s a strong argument for keeping families together. We are also concerned about the damaging impact of a prison sentence on the families themselves and seek to limit this through informal support and signposting for help with finance, childcare and health issues. After all, the families haven\'t committed the crime, but they, especially the children, are greatly affected by the punishment.\n',

This is an important role and allows the child or young person to build a relationship with a positive adult, therefore this is a long term commitment to the child or young person.\n\nVolunteers are matched based on interests, likes and activities they want to explore. Some young people may like to go out for a meal, others the cinema, exploring the great outdoors or visiting the local park.\nAs an IV you will be matched with a child/ young person based on location, ages, interests and likes. For example some children/young people may like to go out for a meal, others the cinema, exploring the great outdoors or visiting the local park. The possibilities are endless and we have a small budget for each visit to cover activities. Its essential activities and visits are planned with the child or young person, and that they have a voice. \n\nIdeally volunteers will meet with their child or young person every 3 to 4 weeks and commit to a relationship for at least 12 months.\n\nFeedback after a session must be provided to the Coordinator and any safeguarding concerns highlighted immediately in accordance to the Nepacs Safeguarding Policy.\n',
