Since 1989, the Prisoners Education Trust has been providing access to broader learning opportunities for prisoners, to enhance their chances of building a better life after release.

They do this through a grants programme which assists over 2,000 prisoners each year to study distance learning courses in subjects and levels not available in prison, along with advice and support.
