We ask for a minimum annual subscription of £25, but any extra amount goes towards funding ongoing projects.
As an example, £45 pays for three fully kitted leavers’ bags given to men locating to a hostel or of no fixed abode.
£80 pays for a Play Worker to work for a whole weekend with children visiting their fathers.
The easiest way to pay your subscription is via a bank transfer using these details:
• Bank: Lloyds Bank Account
• name: Friends of Guys Marsh Prison
• Bank account number: 41615668
• Sort code: 30-65-21
If you prefer you can pay by cheque made payable to Friends of Guys Marsh Prison and sent to:
The Treasurer, FOGM, HMP Guys Marsh, Shaftesbury SP7 0AH

Subscribing to Friends of Guys Marsh to support our works costs from £25 per year, though any more is a very useful and welcome bonus. Friends are given priority booking for the sociable fund-raising events that we arrange and are also sent an annual newsletter to update them about our work.

If you would like to become involved with some of our activities, volunteers are occasionally needed for welcoming and tea and coffee making on Saturdays (12.30-2.15pm) at the Visitors Centre. Both are located outside the prison itself. The tasks involved are straightforward and full instructions are given. Keen to help? Please Contact Us.
