The dust may only just have settled on the Award Ceremony for last year’s winners, but nominations are now open for this year’s Awards!
The Awards are presented by our Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, and help give credit where it’s due to people who go above and beyond in their work in prisons, probation and youth justice settings (including volunteers and third-party employees) – and just being nominated shows someone’s efforts have not gone unnoticed.
You can find more about the Awards, and how to nominate someone, in the Awards section of this site. And you can view a short video here.
[27 March, Freiston, Lincs] In her role as Royal Patron of the Butler Trust, HRH The Princess Royal makes a number of visits to prisons, probation and youth justice settings each year, to see first hand some of the outstanding work taking place throughout the sector. This time it was the turn of HMP North Sea Camp.
On the afternoon of 7 November, as the rain began to fall, our Royal Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, arrived at the gates of the prison, to see our winners in their place of work, and meet their colleagues from across the jail.
A distinguished audience of over 200 delegates gathered at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London on November 6th for ‘Parole, Probation and Prisons – Past, Present and Future.’ Organised by The Butler Trust and supported by HM Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS), the conference marked the 50th Anniversary of The Parole Board. An exceptional roster of speakers included The Rt Hon David Lidington MP, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice; Nick Hardwick, Chair of The Parole Board; and Michael Spurr, CEO of HMPPS; as well as leading academics and representatives of victims and service users.
