We are really looking forward to our Family Information Day on Monday 28th April. The aim of the Family Information Day is to provide families with support as well as a chance to meet other families who have a loved one in prison overseas.

A special thank you to all the families who attended our Family Information Day last week especially who shared their experience with everyone. As one father remarked "It is a room where sincere empathy exists and we feel each others pain."

We would also like to thank Citizens Information for their very informative presentation on returning home after a prison sentence at our Family Day and for answering the many questions families had. Delighted also to be joined by colleagues from our London office via Zoom.

As part of our supports for families with loved ones in prison abroad, the ICPO holds two Family Information Days annually, in April and October. We also host an online Family Coffee Morning the last Thursday of every month. Contact Ciara at 01 5053156 for further information.
