Hibiscus currently works in HMP Peterborough, HMP Downview and HMP Bronzefield women's prisons. We will answer requests for advice and information from other female prisons. We provide support in the community for women being released into London boroughs.

Who Can Apply

Any migrant women (including EU citizens) who are or have been affected by Criminal Justice System and immigration restrictions can apply. We provide specialist services for racially minoritised women and women who are survivors of human trafficking and gender-based violence.

What Can Be Funded

Emergency travel expenses or financial support for basic necessities, food. Individual casework and advocacy services.

What Can Not Be Funded

Non-essential items.

How To Apply

For support in prison, contact our organisation directly or contact our Hibiscus Project Workers as they visit the prisons.

For support after release from prison, we cannot accept self-referrals, but can take referrals from probation or other support agencies for women being released to London boroughs.

Acknowledgement

All correspondence will be acknowledged.
