Toybox Lee Avenue

About

Toybox Lee Avenue was set up with the objective of promoting the benefit of children visiting family members in HMP Barlinnie, Glasgow by providing high quality play provision and support in the Visits Room of the prison. The Play Co- ordinator and her Deputy, with the support of the Trustees, continue to organise this facility with the support of over 20 volunteers, with the majority of visits being covered. - last year,there were over 5000 child visits to the prison. The project aims to assist in lessening the harsh effects of having a parent or relative in prison , helping to contribute to these children's resilience in later life.
