PARS 

English Language Partners

For families & whanau of prisoners, there is often little support & many struggle to visit loved ones as often as they would like.  PARS believe continued whanau relationships are vital to wellbeing & to positive re-integration following release. To support this, we are part of a team who volunteer their time to bring whanau to visit prisoners.
