The UpFamilies initiative is co-funded by the European Union and aims to provide families of prisoners with a range of existing services available (from local to national level) that can support them in dealing with the impacts of imprisonment. Up-to-date information on the services will be made available via a mobile application and also aims to raise awareness of the importance of empowering the organisations that work with these families on a daily basis so that they can be better prepared for their unique needs.
