Maghaberry has gone the extra mile to raise over £6000 for the Cancer Fund for Children. Half of the funds raised came from donations by prisoners. Relay teams of staff and prisoners ran a virtual #BelfastMarathon around the prison. Well done to everyone on an incredible achievement.

Spring has sprung at Hydebank with the first lambs of the season. The chosen theme this year is Disney characters – so welcome Anna and Elsa. Well done to the Hydebank team and the young men who are part of our animal husbandry work.
