A prison reading scheme is part of a new partnership to help spread the joy of reading between fathers in prison and their children.

Lewes Prison, Spurgeons Children’s Charity, Lewes Children’s Book Group, Bags of Books, and East Sussex County Council have joined forces so that the StoryBook Dads programme can reach more fathers and their children.

Further funding has been provided by Lewes Children’s Book Group for books at the Spurgeons Visitor Centre and the Bags of Books bookshop has offered discounted titles to help the funding stretch further.
