Prisoners' Education Trust

At Prisoners’ Education Trust (PET) we believe that everyone in prison, wherever they are and whatever their background, should have access to education.

We offer distance learning courses, advice and guidance and help around 1,500 learners each year to study, giving them the skills and qualifications to build brighter futures.

We offer 125 different courses including GCSEs and A-levels, Open University Access modules and a wide range of professional courses. We use our policy and advocacy work to improve prison education and show prisons, policymakers and the public the impact it can have — for people in prison, their families, and society.

A gift to PET directly impacts the lives of people in prison, offering learners the opportunity to gain new skills and qualifications, improve self-esteem and increase the chances of success upon release. By investing in education, you are contributing to the creation of safer communities and a more rehabilitative justice system.

Your pledge to PET is a commitment to education and will make a difference to the lives of people in prison for years to come.
