Mothers' Union Prison Work

Mothers' Union Diocese of Lincoln runs a supervised play area in Lincoln prison during visiting hours on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and at Stocken prison on the first Saturday of the month, and the 1st and 5th Wednesdays.

Any children accompanying visitors may choose to spend time in the play area, if they become restless or bored. This means that the adults can spend quality time together during the visit once the child has had time to greet the one they are visiting. The children remain the responsibility of the adult visitors. Volunteers find they build up good relationships with these children over time.

Mothers' Union Diocese of Lincoln also support work in a local Ladies Prison, Morton Hall, where volunteers assist with visits and assist where required

If you feel you could help as a volunteer in these projects, then please contact the Diocesan Secretary at St. Benedict's.

Many Mothers' Union members also undertake to support prisoners and their families in prayer. We have a special prayer guide available that suggests specific concerns for prayer daily over a month. Please contact the Diocesan Secretary if you would like to receive one.
