Merry Christmas to all staff at Garth. It has been another challenging year but as always staff have shown dedication, resilience and commitment. We hope you all have an amazing time with your loved ones over the festive period 🎁🎄🎅

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the HYROX-style fitness race last week! The determination, teamwork and motivation didn't go unnoticed, which led to raising £2927.50 for #MarieCurieUK .

Staff and prisoners recently raised money for our local charity Derian House Children's Hospice. Prisoners raised money from a softball competition where they displayed great teamwork, whilst staff raised money at our recent #HiddenHeroes event. We are proud to support Derian House and their work!

An exciting opportunity to join the Delphi team as a recovery practitioner has arisen. The successful candidate will work across both HMP Garth and HMP Wymott, helping to change lives. Please see the link for more information: itrent.calico.org.uk/ce0876li_webre…

'They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them. The Last Post is sounded.'

Good luck to all the prisoners participating in our gym charity event on Friday 10th November. They will be taking part in a HYROX-style fitness race, building teamwork and communication skills. So far, they have raised almost £3000 for the Marie Curie charity. #MarieCurieUK

Congratulations to our Shannon Trust orderly, who was nominated for the Tom Shannon Award! He has been nominated for all his hard work in helping other prisoners learn to read, which has helped them to become more confident and progress through their sentences. #Shannon_Trust
