Helping families stay connected through change
Invisible Walls works with children, families and those in custody to strengthen relationships and reduce isolation. Through prison visitor centres, trauma responsive services, family interventions and school partnerships, we help families feel supported, informed and hopeful about the future.
Support that makes a difference
Our Purpose
We believe that strong family connections can support real, lasting change. By helping families understand the effort their loved one is making, we help keep hope, motivation and trust alive on both sides of the wall.
Family Visitor Centres
Visiting a loved one in prison can feel daunting, especially for children. Our Family Visitor Centres provide welcoming, supportive spaces where families can feel safe, informed and cared for before and after visits.
Trauma Responsive
Our Trauma Responsive Service and school support help families feel heard, informed and hopeful about the future.
Schools
Children are often the most affected when a parent or loved one is in prison. We work with schools and families to provide age-appropriate support, helping children feel reassured, understood and less alone.
Stories
Every family’s journey is different. Through real stories, updates and insights, we share the impact of connection, understanding and support, and the difference it can make over time.
Our Team
Invisible Walls is made up of people who believe in compassion, dignity and the power of family connection. Our team, trustees and volunteers are committed to supporting families through challenging circumstances.
When a family member is in prison.
When someone in a family is in prison, the impact is felt far beyond the prison walls. Children, partners and carers can feel worried, disconnected, unloved, or even blame themselves for what’s happened. Invisible Walls is here to support families through those moments, helping relationships stay strong and giving families the reassurance, understanding and support they need.
