AWARDS AND COMMUNITY
Charity Initiatives
Prisoners are encouraged and supported to participate in charity fund
raising. Care will be taken to ensure the relevant charity is comfortable
with prisoner involvement.
Community Initiatives
HMP Rye Hill is committed to having close involvement with community
and voluntary organisations. We have already established links with
local volunteers who assist with religious activities and agencies
such as the Racial Equality Council and the Samaritans who are already
regular contributors to the prison's policies and development.

Plans for the future include a volunteer led information and advice
"drop in" centre for prisoner's visitors and an initiative
to involve prisoners' families in the Sentence Planning process.
In December 2001 HMP Rye Hill achieved "Investors
in People". Awarded for demonstrable commitment to staff
training and development, it ensures that all employees are regularly
reviewed on their training and development needs, and relevant plans
put into place.
