Prison Reform Trust

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2024/25

Prison Reform Trust (PRT) is the leading penal reform charity in England and Wales, working to create a fair, humane and effective justice system. In 2024/25 the advice and information service responded to over 11,000 enquiries from people in prison and their families, making 300 safeguarding referrals. The Building Futures programme engaged 92 working group members and 902 network members across prisons. PRT's advocacy contributed to landmark changes to the IPP licence framework in the Victims and Courts Act 2024, and its evidence to the Independent Sentencing Review was accepted across multiple recommendations — including a presumption against short sentences and measures expected to reduce the prison population by 9,500. The CEO joined the government's Women's Justice Board and PRT launched its Next Generation Leaders programme and Hope and Fulfilment Awards. A new five-year Strategic Plan for 2024-2029 was published following the election of the Labour government.
